Sandra Thibodeaux (N.F.P. - ) Sandra Thibodeaux writes plays that sound like poetry and poems that perform like plays. Her work in both genres is driven by a love of character, and a passion for rhythm and the sensual word. Sandra has previously published one volume of poetry, Sonata for Solo Mother, whilst numerous national and international journals and anthologies have published her work. These journals include Short Fuse: The Global Anthology of New Fusion Poetry, Going Down Swinging, Muse, Hecate and Coastlines, while the anthologies include True North and Bird Before Landing. Sandra has been short listed twice for the Red Earth Poetry Award. Sandra has performed her poetry extensively, both in Darwin, and in national and international arenas. She has been a guest poet at the Spring Poetry Festival, ACT, and the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, Bali. Sandra's work has been broadcast on ABC Radio (Northern Territory), Radio National's Poetica and Radio National's The Deep End. Sandra has written nine plays, six of which have been staged as part of the Darwin Fringe Festival. Radio National, Darwin Theatre Company and Music NT have also produced her plays. In 2004, Sandra co-wrote a bilingual, Indonesian-Australian play with Mas Ruscitadewi (Denpasar). Katakan Padaku was first read at the inaugural Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. Sandra's writing is informed by her place of residence. Living in Darwin, she speaks from a context that is, as she perceives it, markedly Indigenous and South-East Asian.    Photo of Sandra Thibodeaux by InFocus, 2002. Her passion for cross-cultural experimentation has been evidenced in work such as Katakan Padaku, while Rameswaram and All That (a radio play) and 'Ganga's Burning' (a poem, short listed for the Red Earth Poetry Award, 2004) celebrate, and also problematise, Australia's place within South-East Asia. In her upcoming play, Mr Takahashi,. Sandra investigates the Japanese-Australian experience of WWII, and also re-examines wartime Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations through a postcolonial lens. Finally, Sandra's work resonates with a feminist politics. Her theatrical characters are predominantly female - diverse, at various stages of awareness, but always subjects in their own right. Her poetry, also, articulates a feminist understanding of the world. This particular understanding allows for a female pleasure and sensuality, while it calls for a love that exceeds the constraints of gender. Sandra also writes songs, and her band, Ben Her, has released its debut CD, Spartacus. Sandra Thibodeaux's publications include: Poetry: Sonata for Solo Mother, (self-published, 1996), Delivery, (PressPress, 2004).

Karen Throssell (D.O.B. - ) Karen Throssell is a Melbourne poet, who has been writing for about fifteen years. She has a background in the trade union movement, Women's Studies and the Community Sector. Her poems have been published in Overland, Artstreams and The Warrandyte Diary. A collection of her poems (as yet untitled) is to be published later this year by Ginninderra Press. She lives in the bush on the outskirts of Melbourne with her daughter. When she isn't writng poetry, she is Coordinator of the local (Warrandyte) Neighbourhood House. One of the many programs run by the House is called Appreciating your local Flora, which involves taking groups of people through the local bush with an indigenous flora expert. One of these walks was scheduled for September 11. This is what inspired the enclosed poem. Having been brought up in a family which was passionate about the struggle for peace, she believes very strongly that all artists have an obligation to use their skills to counter the arguments of mad human beings with the itchy trigger fingers. Her book The Pursuit of Happiness was funded by People for Nuclear Disarmament, and is dedicated to her daughter Katharine Zoe "in the hope that it takes a small step in ensuring that she has a future."    Photo of Karen Throssell by Katie Throssell, 2001. Karen Throssell's publications include: Poetry: The Pursuit of Happiness, (Hyland House), 1988.

Time of the Assassins Melbourne Australia has long been renowned as one of the creative hotspots in this desert continent. THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, THE MODELS, SKYHOOKS, VENOM P. STINGER etc etc all emerged from the Victorian capital with unique idiosyncratic visions - quirky lyrics, powerful original music. Meet TIME OF THE ASSASINS - the latest and perhaps the greatest (time will tell and quite likely prove me correct) Melbourne band with self-same dual agenda of originality and attitude. Their debut CDEP is out now available. Their debut release is like a condensed version of those long chats, with some ace music to back up the heartfelt spiritual questioning.     Photo of Time Of The Assasins by Jason Assasin, 2005. Time of the Assassins's albums include: Insert albums. Time of the Assassins can be contacted at: Email: contact (át) thetimeoftheassassins (dót) com    Go to Time of the Assassins website
