I am selling what no longer serves me in pursuit of nothing at all. A body is money, never mind time. Half-priced, used, one of a kind. A body is money. I have put a price tag on the parts of my life that are considered foundational. My mother who swipes her credit card with a delicate sharpness, a practitioner of conditional living. Sign it all away, think less. Spend money on your kids before global warming snatches them up.
On Thursday 18 August 6pm AEST, join us for the digital launch of Voiceworks #127, ‘Gleam’ ✨

Supple wings, veined and iridescent—do they wink at you, tips curling over the top of toadstools from where their bearers peek at you, like a puzzle to be solved, like prey to be stolen from? They whisper behind cupped hands, the sound rushing to blow the strands off your neck.
This blockbuster launch will feature readings from Yael Grunseit, Carlos Hasham, Sandra Kallarakkal and Svetlana Sterlin, and video postcards from Rebecca Bannister, Corinna Howell, Jade Irvine and Miranda Rogers.
The carnivorous dog who devours people had been following me. One morning he drank my fresh coffee and ate my scrambled eggs, my dining room table, and three vintage orange chairs. He chewed up the four lightbulbs above my head, the collages made from Frankie magazines I’d Blu-Tacked to the fridge, and demolished my apartment walls.
Flash fades, edges soften; a blade of light sits beneath the curtain. Brush strokes sharpen, context unfurls as frames are carefully shattered and re-hung, windows slide open to the worlds behind your eyes. Corners suddenly rendered oblique. Familiar angles bend and break.
