1 My Bung Leg and Me Jack Francis Musgrave , 2016 single work essay
— Appears in: Voiceworks , Summer no. 106 2016-2017; (p. 55-61)

'They call hIm brave Ulysses. Despite the birth complications and corrective surgery, at just fourteen months old he's sailing across the Mediterranean, as though nothing can stop him. Thankfully his grandfather can, before Brave Ulysses, having commandeered the helm, turns their vessel into the path of a Turkish fishing boat. The one rule for docking, won in a wager through his mother's hyper-competitive Scrabble matches, is that wherever they land must have a beach for young Brave Ulysses.'  (Publication abstract)
