ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Thank you Maureen for publishing my poem in the latest magazine. I cannot imagine a better presentation. You have made me very proud indeed!

Vic, we all owe a lot to Maureen.

Congratulations on having your poem published mate.

Terry

You are very welcome Vic - without the help of my poetry mates there wouldn't even be a magazine, it is due to the generosity of poets that I know even if only on line , that the concept was hatched and executed.

Thank's Terry for that kind comment. It is greatly appreciated.

I am hoping to be able to put up a worthwhile prize in the magazine soon - it is still under discussion but we now have our own publishing set up on TAT with very reasonable prices and full assistance all the way along the line .... does a 'chap book' get anyone excited?

Maureen please don't turn your wonderful magazine into a competition. Let us continue to enjoy it just as it is.

No, no, no Vic - not a competition - prize was probably a bad term to use - this was more in the line of giving something back to say thank you to those who have contributed... a chance for one of our poets to have their own work formatted into an e- book. Still working on the 'boss' to see if he will allow me to do - he has his own idea (pretty good) about a book which we are investigating.

I'd prefer one with girls, but hey if the poems are good I guess it might stir me some

What about both Marty?

right oh you two - settle down
