.before Country
.before Country is a tight collection of seven Science Fiction short stories and code poems. Five were written before Country was named. Two describe the beginnings of settlement. Four code poems recount the ongoing upheaval after initial terraforming.
Some say this time of excess was deliberately encouraged, in order to forestall the conservative staidness that infects most isolated post-pioneer societies when they celebrate the pioneer spirit of their forebears, instead of doing it. The last story, The Isle of the Dead, relates a moment of metamorphosis. Rooted in personal agency, the hero Smith seeks a treasure but his outsider perspective rewrites the kernel and creates a new beginning.
This directly lay the way for the ecosocial emergence of Country, when Starkey founded the legendary Ripplinglee, the first steadhouse.
These tells prequel the three Books of Country (Fall, Born, Home) which best describe the time of the steaders. These will be released some time in the future.

all)Bitternessandapathy
"This was written towards the end of a lengthy twenty-something's depression. It was the first multi-voice compositional poem to be written (ever) (I think). Or at least scored in this way.
"It's about overcoming depression. Moving on from all that bitterness and apathy into sunlight. I'd like to say writing it allowed me to bark back at the black dog, but it was a good five years more before that dog was truly gone."
Performance set of the compositional poem all)Bitternessandapathy by Tasmanian poet meika loofs samorzewski. A multi-voice spoken word poem for eight voices to read together.
