If you missed out on receiving Emily Ahmed’s incredible first poem, ‘Arrival’, as part of her RD micro-residency you can now read it online!!🎉
Words and phrases across Emily’s work become portals for us to travel between past lives, hidden memories and future conversations. How can we decipher a dream when it disappears on waking? What happens to a fairytale when its narrative devices—the slippers, the crumbs, the winding path—discover they are lost?

If you missed out on receiving Jo Langdon’s incredible second poem, ‘Grande Plage (Big Beach)’, as part of her RD micro-residency you can now read it online!!🎉
As with her first poem, Jo’s ‘Grande Plage (Big Beach)’ is an ekphrastic rumination on the work of Polish sculptor Alina Szapocznikow. In Szapocznikow’s work, a sculpture—whether it is made of an ashtray or a car part—is also an imprint, and in a similar way Jo has constructed a poem where the marks of the body, as well as its memories and influences, are embedded within the syntax.

Jo Langdon lives and writes on unceded Wadawurrung land. Her first full-length poetry collection, Glass Life, was published by Five Islands Press in 2018. In 2018 she was also an Elizabeth Kostova Foundation Sozopol Fiction Seminars fellow. Her recent writing appears in journals including Cordite, Island, Meanjin, Overland and Rabbit.

In repurposing the languages of email salutations, memes, abbreviations, TikTok’s, and 1s and 0s, Kat considers how computers have become the carrier-pigeons for our jokes, secrets, frustrations, and desires.

In this residency, I wanted to explore the ways we share intimacy using machines that were not designed for such applications. We profess love, grief, or sincerity through a text that is rendered down to 1s and 0s. We use the same medium to share innocuous messages, but sometimes memes can be a lang...
