Peter Macrow launches Republic Readings [Australia]:
I just love [Anne Collins'] lines like "the dancing parrot-pea, so yellow, so look-at-me." Some time after reading her poem, I saw some nasturtiums, pushing through the fence, outside my kitchen window and thought, "so look-at-me", and then as I was walking down the next street to my home I saw some anterhinums, dark red, port-coloured, claret almost black, and I thought, "so look-at-me." That is also a mark of a good poet, that the words so exactly encapsulate an experience, make us see things we may have overlooked, or see things in different ways, and stay with us, are carried into our lives after the poem has been read.
