Snapshot Poetry #6—This Vast Country

by Louise Allan | Aug 24, 2014 | PHOTOGRAPHY, SNAPSHOT POETRY | 2 comments

This week’s snapshot poem:

This vast country Made small In the dawn-4 copy

 

Not only this country, but the whole globe is smaller these days, and certainly looks it from way up there …

March was big and busy and beautiful – a quick t March was big and busy and beautiful – a quick trip to Singapore with my daughter, then home to spend time at my writing desk with Henry and Novel #3. 

I’m still swimming lots, of course – couldn’t survive without it. But now the open water season’s over, it was back to the pool and trying to build some speed. (Note the word ‘trying’ – speed’s not my thing!) I must say, my body’s tired and I’m looking forward to a rest, but I can’t seem to cure my addiction to water – tips welcome!

A packed house at the AH Bracks Library in Melvill A packed house at the AH Bracks Library in Melville tonight for the launch of Emily Paull’s début novel, The Distance Between Dreams. 

In conversation with Michael Burrows, Emily talked about her long pathway to publication (it began when she was a 17- year old Year 12 student), the reason she set the book in Fremantle (it was where she hung out with her friends) and the dreams of her two protagonists, Winston and Sarah. 

So lovely to see Emily’s own dream come true tonight!

Today is a special day because it’s the day my f Today is a special day because it’s the day my friend, Emily Paull’s, book is published. 

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve read this book, or parts of it, over the past ten years or more – yes, it takes a long time to write a book! I’ve seen it evolve and mature each time, as @incredibleramblingelimy has redrafted and refined it. It’s so nice to hold the finished product in my hands. 

The book is about two young people from very different backgrounds who fall in love just before the outbreak of WWII. It’s set in Fremantle, and is for all lovers of historical fiction, especially if you’re a romantic at heart.

    Nice Louise I’m behind on contributing here’s what has been rolling around in my head:

    Unfocused on the teachings of my heart
    I missed the whispering on time,
    Now I turn in wonderment
    to days and loves gone by.
