Verandah Literary Journal 24 (Verandah, #24)

Verandah Literary Journal 24 (Verandah, #24)

It’s forty degrees and rising: sparse words stick on tongues, bikes drift with concentration’s slur, sweat-slick hands glide in sliding clasp, dehydration’s dulled eyes stare. And you stumble across a man’s twisted body soaking in a wet-red pool of a living end. It reminds you of the battery dogs, pierced with metal bolts and freaking-out with kinetic impulses, so you turn your attention to the giant rabbits, leaping by at God speed to the tune of a Mr Whippy ice-cream van.

Lurking in the prose of Verandah, is the repressed memory of your ‘First Date’, that disappointing ‘Dinner with Dad’, a vague image of geometric retinal imprints and zeros, plump and exhausted, recorded from astronomy lectures. Buckets catching the night? The poetics of glass? And what does that cockroach really represent? Uncanny is the word that comes to mind, when you thumb through the pages of the collective imagination of these writers and artists.

Meet the artist Tom Cho, author of Look Who’s Morphing, and see what makes our Verandah Literary Award winner tick. The world you live in is just a piece of the puzzle in a world without boundaries, so laugh out loud, scratch your head—befuddled—crawl through ‘The Paper Hallways’ of Deakin University’s literary journal, for the twenty-fourth time.
