M.A.C. Farrant's Darwin alone in the universe: short-short stories by this woman who doesn't give her full name, which bugs me because I hate just having initials. Brilliant book in a lot of weird ways, and it includes the story "Drought in the Cashflow River," which should pretty much being required reading for people attempting relationships with writers. "Towering Son" did a lot for me, seemed like one of those weird things that I would write, and the whole book has beautiful fonts, paper, packaging which I like to concern myself with. I like imagining my first book. She leaves a lot of white space between scenes. She's also Canadian.

Hey Ben, I'm doing the layout for Apparatus. Do you have any poems you'd like to contribute? What did you think of *my* poems?
Send 'em over. I'm doing the layout how you and Joy wanted it. Looks good thus far, thusly, our poetry will prettiefie it to 13.

It looks like we're pretty short on short shorts, including the ones from the postcards blog.
If you have more, we need them.

I'll see what I can do. There was one of your poems I wanted in for sure - I'll phone you in a bit once I'm sure you'll be up.

Really! Weird. That's not a terribly common name these days.
