Playing the piano with a broken wrist
I’ve had a bit of success lately, with an essay titled ‘Playing the piano with a broken wrist’ published in the issue 23 of HEAT. The issue will be launched in Sydney next week and the launch will also be a commemoration of 30 years of the journal. I was an early subscriber. In fact I jumped the gun somewhat. I recall Ivor Indyk sending back my cheque (remember cheques?) with a friendly note telling me that I was too keen. Since then I’ve been proud to contribute both fiction and non-fiction.
I’ve also had a story titled ‘The Witnesses’ published in Styluslit.
