Loose Lips features a foreword by one of Australia’s most celebrated poets, Martin Harrison, who taught as a Senior Lecturer at UTS for writing and poetics. Martin sadly passed on in 2014, leaving behind a poetry legacy of eight collections, including his award-winning Wild Bees. He also wrote a series of essays on contemporary poetry and was a producer and broadcaster for ABC radio.
