Death, art and life

Giving up the Ghost - April 9th - 10th. How wonderful to hear an incisive, inspiring and introspective voice on matters of Australian life and art. For it is in our way of life we consider ourselves the consummate outsiders. But we have our art and our place. Antigone Kefala is right on the money when she describes Australians writers as lacking intensity. It is a reflection of our way. Death may be seeping into our consciousness, but it is almost as if the land itself is saying it will all fall away. Just get on and be. Thanks for exploring the notion of death, art and life.
