I’m so excited by my copy of Anthropocene. It’s a chapbook published by the Queensland Writers Centre that contains four of my poems. Only two copies were made – this one and one other that was sold to raise funds for the Queensland Writers Centre. You know I love limited edition print runs and I don’t think you can get rarer than this!
I was stoked when I found out my submission had been accepted for publication in a chapbook. These poems are close to my heart and it’s wonderful to see them finally in print.
I had no idea what the cover of this chapbook was going to look like. All I knew was that it was going to be illustrated by Christine Sharp. Letting go of my work without knowing what the end result was going to look like was a real act of trust. I’m so glad I put my faith in Q Poetry! because the chapbook is gorgeous!! Fabulous design and layout and I adore the cover
Thanks to the Queensland Writers Centre and Christine Sharp for taking my poems and turning them into a work of art!!!
Given the theme of this collection of poems, I think it’s fitting that the snails got to it first as you can see on the back cover. 🐌
