Sydney reading experiments: Poetry in performance is a series of micro commentaries, documenting readings and performances within the Sydney experimental poetry community. How are difficult, unreadable, "avant-garde" poems vocalized and embodied in Sydney specifically?
Amelia Dale teaches at the University of Sydney. She is the author of several online chapbooks of poetry, and co-editor (with a.j. carruthers) of SOd Press and poetry reviews editor of Southerly Journal. Recent work can be read at Powder Keg Magazine, Cordite Poetry Review and Troll Thread.

Scratching My Head


Ok, this is a shot of me pre-cancer/chemo.  

My hair now is beginning to grow back out and the cowlick is horrendous.  I hate the feeling of it as I had grown accustomed to a peeled head.  See next shot:


I got so used to the simple care of the stubble that now with the cowlick, I would rather have the stubble.

So, before and after.  Help me decide.

Spicy Southern Kitchen

Dump and Go Crockpot Recipes are a great way to take the stress out of dinnertime! Just add everything to the crock pot and walk away. The crock pot does all the work for you. Perfect for busy weeknights.
Here are some of my favorite Dump and Go Crock Pot Recipes:
  1. Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken- only 5 ingredients and a wonderful spicy kick!
  2. Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy- a simple recipe with so much flavor.
  3. Crock Pot Root Beer Pulled Pork- only 4 ingredients!
  4. Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing with Green Beans- a full meal in one dish.
  5. Slow Cooker Brunswick Stew- so much flavor in this easy recipe.
  6. Crock Pot Cheesy Stuffing Chicken- crock pot chicken doesn't get any more delicious than this.
There's nothing better than coming home to a hot meal that's ready to be dished up!

The first gadget is solar-powered and fits in your birdbath without cords.
I can drop one in a hanging version away from my cats, too.
