Robert is currently based at UniSA Magill campus, where he is working on his PhD and also becoming involved in teaching. His research interests are concerned with the understanding of collecting behaviour, especially with regard to theories of discourse, social construction and evolutionary psychology. He has presented at the AAWP conference in Perth and at the South Australian School of Art.

In recent months Robert has had poems published in Wet Ink, Social Alternatives, LiNQ, and in the Friendly Street reader. He was fortunate enough to have his collection Deaf Elegies published by Friendly Street/Wakefield Press in 2005.

Originally from Canada, Jodie George now spends her time soaking up the sun (something she never really saw at home!) and pursuing a PhD in creative writing. Her past publications include the short story 'Click!' in The house that words built and various magazine articles. Jodie enjoys travel and seems unable to keep her feet on the same soil for more than a few months at a time, but for a girl from the great white north living in the great south land, that's just how it should be!
