Published 16 September 200916 September 2009 · Main Posts and normal service is returned Jeff Sparrow As Maxine says, the Overload/Overland blog project has now come to an end. Thanks again to everyone involved. Special thanks to Maxine herself, for agitating to make it happen, for serving as a one-woman content provider, and for establishing a new visual and poetic aesthetic for the OL website. I’ve been thinking a lot about poets and poetry recently and, if life ever calms down a bit, we’ll explore possibilities for ongoing collaborations along the lines we’ve just seen. So stay tuned for more. In the interim, we’ve now put almost all of the content from OL 196 — including the poetry — online. You can access it here. Enjoy. Jeff Sparrow Jeff Sparrow is a writer, editor, broadcaster and Walkley award-winning journalist.
