Collection of poetry and stories written between 1990 and 2000. During this time I lived in the Aboriginal enclave of Redfern in Sydney, hichhiked around Tasmania and lived in the forest in eastern Victoria, lived in Amsterdam as a squatter, spent 3 months in Morocco in search of the ghost of Brion Gysin, worked on farms in Spain, India and Thailand. I also travelled in Britian, Sweden and Germany, making music in the streets and staying in lots of strange places. I was part of a perfomance art group in inner city Sydney, a key member of which committed suicide in 1997 (the first poem is about her). I stayed with Sadhus in India in 1996 and bathed in the Ganges every morning while living for 3 months in a huge house in Varanassi studying yoga and music. My first son, Silas, was born in 2000 and it then that the final poem is written.
