2003 - Saloni M swims East
Joe
De Iacovo The stray catastrophes and nervous blood bubbling away under our skin can unknowingly motivate to an extent where life becomes entangled with a series of calamities civility has no space for; for Joe, that’s one of the things that’s worth writing about. Oral histories interest him too. He's been involved in oral retellings as researcher/interviewer/writer. He wrote a feature documentary, A Fine Harvest, for ABC Radio National, and along with the 100 plus contributors, co-wrote Three pence a book & other stories from Moonee Valley, a Centenary of Federation project. His poems/writing have appeared in publications like Meanjin, Southerly, Verandah and others. As well, some of his work has been used/performed collaboratively in exhibitions and festivals such as the Melbourne Biennale (Signs of Life), the Carnivale (Sydney) and others. Easy: a novella,
a story about car thieves from Melbourne’s northern suburbs, is a work
he would love to finish properly sometime. At the moment, he is earning
dollars as a part-time creative writing teacher, and supervising the Highrise
Herald, a work-for-the-dole project/publication for the residents
of the Flemington Public Housing Estate.
