Speech given on Friday 13 December 2024 at Testing Grounds, MelbourneIt’s rare that I speak at Overland events, because I prefer to do my work as poetry editor in the shadows. Not like one of the faceless men of the Labor party, no — the work of selecting poetry isn’t particularly clandestine or manipulative. Nor does it need fanfare — it’s simple work, of carving down a cornucopia of submissions into a small set menu for each issue.
