About me: I'm a writer and musician based in Thornbury, Melbourne, doing music under the name of ZAZIZ (to avoid confusion with another Melbourne musician of the same name). I've had over 150 poems and haiku published in journals, magazines, and anthologies throughout Australia, the UK, and America. My first poetry collection was Surface (PRECIOUS PRESS, 2004), and the latest is I Think We Have (Small Change Press, 2007) http://www.smallchangepress.com.au/ I'm also on the board of the Australian Haiku Society http://www.haikuoz.org/

I've also translated works from Persian (with Ali Alizadeh), Spanish, French, and Turkish (the poetry of Hidayet Ceylan in 'bulayt bulayt: poetry in four languages', World Poetry, 2006, and my own poetry poetry and haiku have been translated into Arabic, Russian, German, and Dutch.
Do you like to go "bump" in the night? You sure do! Are you ready for this year's Thereminstrosity? You bet you are!
This Saturday (Oct17), the low priests present the Third Annual Theremin Festival "The Cabinet of Dr.Thereminstrosity". A night assured to be full of eeriness, silliness and explosive fun! With influences ranging from jazz, horror soundtracks, goth, punk and rock, the low priests, Justin Ashworth and Space Zombies from the Moon showcase the rarely seen versatility of this fine instrument.
So don your spooky outifts or come as you are but make sure you can at least tap your toes in "those" shoes of yours as you strap yourself in for one hell of a spookily fun ghost-train.
