Absolutely love the creative and quirky ideas that Australian Poetry is coming up with to get poetry recognised in this country, but if I read another poet saying that you can't make a living as a poet, I'm going to bellow! It's a cliche and untrue and self-defeatist and against everything I imagine Australian Poetry is trying to achieve.
That said, I loved the title of Fiona's poem, 'She Looked Bored until Her Burger Came' - will seek out her poems soon... and hope she joins me and others as full-time no-other-bloody-job-ever poets in this country.
