I applaud his success and his work to expose the writings of people with mental illness.

What an intriguing article. I like a poet who can express wisdom in a few lines like he did in his "Nine Poems." How neat that he was also a student of yours at one time. (You must be just a little bit proud! Smiles.) I also do like the idea of Loose Kangaroos. Another sterling feature!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-73021267228278132352017-04-07T18:56:19.091-04:002017-04-07T18:56:19.091-04:00Great to find Geoff here, and to learn more of his...Great to find Geoff here, and to learn more of his background in Melbourne poetry. And a very worthy one it is. I've recently "loved" several of his poems written on the 90's and posted now on fb. They are wonderful; so are these short descriptions above of poetry itself.

Wow! And thank you for the kangaroos--a few of which are loose in my paddock as well though they are sleeping peacefully at the moment.

And I ADORE the whole premise of loose kangaroos! LOL. Perfect. I think many of us poets can describe ourselves as having a few kangaroos loose in the north paddock, hee hee. It's what makes our poems resonate. Geoff writes with such clarity and beauty and each of those nine verses is a gem. What a great start to my Friday. Thank you both.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-45476174250957215762017-04-07T10:50:37.893-04:002017-04-07T10:50:37.893-04:00Thank you Rosemary, I loved the post!
