Just received my contributor’s copy of Takahe 72 in the mail today. The issue includes my short story A Long Trip Home and two poems by my partner Harvey Molloy. I still get a little buzz seeing my work in print/hard copy. Digital just doesn’t do it in the same way although it probably reaches a much larger readership. Takahe has had a makeover and now includes author photos, quotes and profiles along side the work. I was a little sceptical about the photos – do we really need to see what the author looks like and slot them into various demographics along with all the associated preconceptions? – but they look okay (I do need to get a more photogenic one of myself for future use!)

Takahe 72 looks fantastic. I was a little concerned about having a pic of myself but the pages look great. Thanks editors for showing my work and others in such a professional and entertaining way.
cheers
