Notes

  • Dedication: For A. B/ G., my love. My nature.
  • Epigraph:

    'If she doesn't get who she wants, she naturally revolts, This is the nature of reality. No rationality possible.

    Only this is true.

    The world in which there is no feeling, the robot world, doesn't exist.

    The world here is a very dangerous place to live in.'

    Kathy Acker

  • Special issue of Poetry Australia.
