Links to poets and musicians have been added.
Three additional poems posted in Words section.
I have also made a few changes in the text about me.

I am still not writing. I started working on a couple of poems in April, around the time of the Lit Fest, but have not finished any of them. I scribble down a few lines here and there, but that's all there is. I thought the festival might kickstart a period of productivity, but unfortunately not. I am trying not to put myself under pressure, but part of me is also losing confidence in my abilities. I continue to take lots of photos, I have explored more of the Central Cemetery, and I hope to get a few series together for a portfolio.

I was invited to join some Labyrinth poems et al for this reading at labfactory on 17 May. The line-up was: Evelyn Holloway, Sylvia Petter, Victoria Slavuski, Hillary Keel, Janus Zeitstein, Felix Mendelssohn, Homemade Gordon Banks, Peter Waugh, Horst Prilinger; musicians Steve Gander, Sandro Miori and Martin Schönlieb. I thoroughly enjoyed reading, and what the others read. And our audience seemed to have a good time, too. Read about it on the blog, see the pictures on flickr.

The Vienna Lit Fest was absolutely fantastic! I was quite nervous before the reading, but it went really, really well, and the feedback I got just blew me away. I met lovely, talented, funny people - writers and other - and hope there will be another festival next year. For info and photos see the Vienna Lit website.

The publication of Alex Stolis' and my collaborative chapbook small confessions and pebbles of regret has been delayed, but we have received word from the publishers that it is ready to be proofed, and we are working on the cover design. Soooo, not long now!

the secret meanings of greek letters, my chap"box" published by dancing girl press, is doing really well: i have sold and swapped many copies, have given some free copies to friends, and have received lovely feedback on both content and design.
