For Australia Day: a poem I wrote for and read last year’s Australia Day Concert at the Sydney Opera House. (But this video is from New Year’s Eve in Melbourne this year, with a much more raucous crowd and with Salt & Poppet Theatre Company making shadows behind me…)

 I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my Australia Day away from Australia by listening to Neil Gaiman recite a poem he wrote especially for it.
