Queensland State Final, Australian Poetry Slam | QLD Poetry
The night’s winner [was] Anna McGahan. Her performance was truly the highlight of the competition. McGahan’s writing is lyrically complex, sonically delicious, and speaks of parenting, reparenting, shame, unconditional selfhood, and unconditional love with such a wonderous astuteness. Her victory is more than earned and I wish her the best for the national heats.
Betwixt | Pink Matter Culture
Every aspect of this work is deeply purposeful. The sequence of the stories speaks to the relationship between the elements.
