My favourite would have to be "Paper Skin" =brilliant, just absoultely definitly not a students work lol. But fantastic, though its very hard to read.

"storm in a tea cup" subtle.

I quite like "Serious Banter and Scattered Peas"

I wish RS were in 2001s... "Prism" very Ani Di Franco (well she did foreword ani)

I enjoyed 'storm in a teacup' the most.

I loved Prism and Hawk From a Handsaw, they were the sort of ones you read and go "what the fuck? these people were only 18?"

these lines captured me:
(from memory, so this may not be perfect but i'll try)

i cannot cry
i have chopped onions
and held them to my eyes
and still i cannot

by Attard, Hawk from a Handsaw

-wow!

"Serious Banter" was hot
Tian dealt with serious issues in a humourous way.
and the tricks he/she(?) played on us in 'Eve' were great:
"Then again, I like her behind
the wheel"
and
"My friend likes to dance around
In the garden not wearing much
Sunscreen."

I don't do poetry, but I really like Hawk from a Handsaw, especially the part with the big long sentence...can't remember all of it but the end is

and i just tried to hold him together because we can replace the windows the vases but i just wonder what else is broken

Didn't really have time for the other poetry in 2003. Didn't appeal to me as much at all.
