The Contract
Aidan Nicholas Coleman (University of Adelaide, Australia)
Flammable as Best & Less
and more difficult to return
your feelings to the place
you found them
than stop the gauge
narrowing to universals.
Horizons clutter with drones
bumping into
each other. Our lyrics
worn smooth.
Aidan Coleman has written two collections of poetry, which have been shortlisted for the NSW Premier’s Kenneth Slessor Prize, the Adelaide Festival Awards for Literature and the Western Australian Premier’s Book Awards. He is a PhD candidate at the University of Adelaide.
