I have discovered The Music Man who finds amazing talent and shares it. No, it’s not Julia Roberts’ daughter but I love her style and unique voice singing favourite songs.

Louise Allan chats to Zoe Deleuil about her debut novel:

Zoë Deleuil: The Accidental Novel

I’m excited to welcome Zoe Deleuil, to the attic this week. Zoë is from Perth, Western Australia, but now lives in Berlin with her family. I remember running into Zoe at the Perth Writers Festival a few years ago (in the women’s loos, of course!), and chatting at length about her book and finding it a home, so I’m thrilled that the The Night Village is now out in the world.

Not my words – it’s Lynda Bullerwell Poetry but I love this one – it deserves a re-blog.

Seeing Red

AUGUST 26, 2016 / LYNDA BULLERWELL POETRY

You can sit in your easy chair
mocking tired old commercials
and checking lotto numbers
to see if you got lucky,

or you can be like the cardinal,
up at 5:00 am each morning,
tapping on my window,
(even on Saturdays)
just to make sure I’m awake,

then, leaving me
in a red cloud of dust
with a smile

and seeds
to grow a poem.
