Epilogue
On the invitation of Kit Kelen I undertook to post a poem a day on the Project 365+1 website during February. I decided that in order to give the process some structure I would expand the scope of the Lacuna project I am currently working on to produce a series of small poems based around remembered images of my part of my extended family who ran a farm at Lidster, west of Orange, before moving into the town when they became too old.
The main Lacuna sequence is made up of prose sequences, long poems, historical fragments and shorter poems based around a public and private history of the Central West of NSW centred around Orange. The poems that I have posted on Project 365+1 represent a sequence of smaller poems that is both linked to the larger work and, stands separate to it. I have called them the Lacuna Fragments and will continue to work on them over the coming months and see where they end up.
Thanks to all the wonderful writers and artists on Project 365+1 for allowing me into the Project. I will following the work that appears on the site over the coming months with interest and will be posting work myself from time to time - but not in the concentrated form I have over the last 29 days.

I'll miss my daily fix of your Lacuna Fragments, in particular, the work of affect (and nostalgia) in your texts. It's been mesmerising. Thank you.
