Vale Dorothy Porter
The poet Dorothy Porter passed away this week and will be greatly missed by friends, family and the literary community. David Malouf remembers 'She had such a vitality and a grasp of life. She had enormous energy and she was a really feisty person. And I think you see that in the way she made her poetry work, in very spare tight verse. And she not only found a readership for her verse novels, she found a very large readership. It's just very sad, and I think there'll be a lot of people out there who admire her, and are fond of her and will miss her very much'.

...another great Dorothy P bites the dust.
Just two weeks before she died from breast cancer, Dorothy Porter wrote her last poem from her hospital bed. Titled 'View from 417' its last lines give a clue to Porter's lust for life right till the end, when she wrote:
Something in me
despite everything
can't believe my luck.
Something in me despite everything can't believe my luck.......
Love you. Renee xoxoxo
