I may be easily thrilled , but thrilled I am. I’ve been mentioned in a review – Tim Howard’s review of Going Down Swinging No 28 in the July–August 2009 issue of the Australian Book Review.
In case you can’t read it, the bit that thrills me is this:
[Lisa] Greenaway and her co-editor, Klare Lanson, share a taste for free verse; their selections include pithy and expansive poems. Jonathan Shaw’s ‘Correspondence’ is a concise, sardonic jab at historical amnesia and bureaucratic impotence.
And I don’t even know Tim Howard!
Me fail? I fly! 
YAY! Best things in there so of course you should be praised. Theyr’e great! Be thrilled to bits.

Hey an equally thrilling bit is the later ‘another highlight’… besides YOU, that is.

I was temporarily mystified by this comment because I actually hadn’t got past the words ‘another highlight’ – I meant that they underlined that your poem is the FIRST highlight.

Jane: It just shows what a deeply modest person I am that I didn’t get that.
