Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:
"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"
IN THE TOWN WHERE I WAS BORN
Once a village,now a capitol city
with an International Airport
Catamarans as public transport
and Parks and Gardens well supported
If you are looking for the poetry
and could not wait for the Queensland Poetry Festival
nor the monthly gatherings of local Kurilpa poets
You would do well to attend the Solstice Celebrations
@the Northey Street Permaculture Farm
where Bruce Pascoe of AUSTRALIAN SHORT STORIES
and Bob Mud of EARTH ARTS-shared their stories&poems
to bring Brisbane back into indigenous context
to tell the tales and song cycles that need to be told
in this city of silent millions,with histories,her-stories,our-stories
waiting for your inner ears..
