"A Victorian Hangman Tells His Love", Bruce Dawe

This is really long and makes for bad photos BUT its impossible to find online, and I want to preserve it for future readers.

This is about the hanging of Ronald Ryan in 1967, the last execution in Australia.

"The Night-Ride" Kenneth Slessor
J. Herbin - Kyanite du Nepal
Graphillo
Twsbi Eco Heat

This is the first poem by #KennethSlessor that really caught my interest. It captures that sense of travel - liminal space and a slightly alien world.
