Well ... the long-awaited website update is longer-awaited still.  It needs to be done, yes, but ... so many new books!  Four superb chapbooks are coming together for the Byron Bay Poetry Festival Picaro Poetry Award: congratulations to Dael Allison, Nandi Chinna, Max Ryan and Meg Mooney.  We could easily have published eight, and may yet do.  Very special stuff, available next month.  There's also an associated anthology, The Green Fuse, splendidly edited by Carmel Williams, which I'm typesetting at the moment.  Plus we're nearing release of several new work titles in association with the Varuna Publisher Fellowship Program, due out in September.  Meanwhile, our latest title is Jennifer Compton's new Barefoot, and we couldn't be more proud of it.  Soon now we'll be in production mode for the always-excellent Henry Kendall Award anthology, Off the Path, organised by the Central Coast Poets.   And then there are the other half-dozen projects coming onto the boil ... They'll all be available at our online store within a few weeks — look for them early in August.  For the moment, there's no time to lose ... hence not enough time to be chatty when updating the website for this month.  I'll try to be a bit more expansive next month, when the pressure's off.  Until then, thanks, and

                                                      all the best,
