Live Encounters Poetry & Writing
Australia – New Zealand May 2021

I think of poetry as revealing to me, as writer or reader, what I think and feel most intensely but also most deeply, but in a spirit of play, both verbally and in active consciousness. What I hope to discover there is my ‘real’ identity.

  1. Thank you, Mark, for the honour of inviting me to guest edit the Australia/NZ edition of your wonderful ‘Live Encounters Poetry & Writing’ journal – truly an opportunity to gather poetical talent far and wide and help showcase each and every poet in a sumptuous setting. It is a wonderful journal and I am proud to have contributed to it 🙂

    1. Denise O’Hagan you are a star, and so are all the fabulous contributing poets.
      Live Encounters is grateful for this ‘creative leap’ across the ether with its
      filigreed utterances reflecting worlds that many of us dream of, or perhaps dream in.
      Thank you all.

  2. Wonderful looking journal Mark. Congrats and thank you for thinking of us cocooned antoipodeans in these strange and challenging times. Kate McNamara’s “Cassandra” suite is a stand out for me, although I am only halfway through.

  3. Hi Mark. Congratulations to you and Denise on the publication of this special Australian/NZ edition of Live Encounters. I’m sure I speak for fellow contributors and readers when I say that your efforts are much appreciated. I’m excited and honoured to be featured alongside so many talented Australian/NZ poets. I’ve started reading from cover to cover and have found the pieces to be enjoyable, insightful and inspiring. I look forward to reading more pieces in this edition as well as in future editions!
