My poem, “I Like Tom Sawyer Island: Epistolary Ballad of Wong Foon Sing in Three Villanelles”, first appeared in “Read Write [Hand]”, published out of East Sussex, United Kingdom. It is edited by Sam Kinchin-Smith. “Read Write [Hand]: A multi-disciplinary Nick Cave reader” is a provocative e-collection of illustrated essays, accompanied by illustrative online mixtapes, which interrogates Nick Cave’s literary undertones and emphases, false-starts and fixations, achievements and overall credentials. Taking as its starting-point the notion that his work – as both songwriter and writer – represents an extraordinarily rich nub of musical-literary intersection, this unique volume represents an attempt to explore Cave’s interdisciplinarity via its own multidisciplinarity. Other contributing artists and authors include: Mark ‘Cowboy’ Rubenstein, Mike Retter, Becky Scarborough, Irene Condorelli, Bruce Stratford, Corey Mesler, Robert Brokenmouth, Peter Webb, Cypress Grove, Kevin E. G. Perry, Spring Offensive, Edward Cottrell, Nicholas Pillai, Steve Wacksman, Bo Mathorne, Ben Jensen, Reena Makwana, Nick Groom, Ashlee Elfman, Merle Leonce Bone, Phil Brown, Luke Turner, Marisa Redburn, Roddy Lumsden, Morgan Wolfe, Tom Steward, and John Clegg, among others.
