— Appears in: Overland [Online] , August 2018;

'An initiative of the Queensland Poetry Festival, the Emerging Older Poets’ Mentorship is designed to address a lack of opportunities in the 55+ age bracket. So many wonderful writers come to their craft later in life, and create wonderfully rich and meaningful work as a result. 2018 is the inaugural iteration of the mentorship and, due to an overwhelmingly positive response, the Queensland Poetry Festival is eager to continue this program in future years.' (Introduction)

1 y separately published work icon Aporiac : Poetry Shey Marque , Kentucky : Finishing Line Press , 2016 11074383 2016 selected work poetry

Aporiac is a series of vignettes on the changing nature of relationships and perspective from 'whispering in the back seat' of childhood to later in life 'when words are just another noise'. Set against Western Australian suburban and coastal landscapes, you will pass through 'the rusty chicken-wire gate' to find 'a shadow of things unsaid' and your 'clothes scattered over the wooden steps' on a beach 'lavish with treachery and strays'. This collection contains the prize-winning poems Harlequin Street and Nude Descending a Staircase, which won The KW Treanor Poetry Prize in 2013 and 2014 respectively, and Sometimes behind the Wallpaper, awarded second place in The Kathleen Julia Bates Memorial Poetry Competition 2014.
