Charmless, and 'despondent' despite a seemingly endless run of luck, Ken Bolton managed - with an ineptitude profonde - the Lee Marvin readings, and Dark Horsey, the Experimental Art Foundation's bookshop. In Adelaide, a figure trailing rumour and scandal, and associated, for example, with the louche set surrounding Noah Banens, his recent collections include Starting at Basheer's (Vagabond) and 2022's Fantastic Day (from Puncher & Wattmann). Shearsman (UK) issued a Selected Poems in 2013, replacing an earlier Penguin Selected.
The author's book on Life at Sea - A Pirate Life - was published by Cordite in 2023.

'Michelle Nikou works in a variety of materials ranging from buttons and lint, toilet paper and embroidery, to cast lead and bronze. The readily accessible meanings of these media contribute to what is being expressed in the work. Generally small in scale, her artefacts have an exquisite hand-made, if unconventional aesthetic and a recurrent vein of wry humour.' Vivienne Webb - Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney
