Community Melbourne writer Alec Patric is the first of Overland's Overload reviewers to be introduced on this blog. Alec has published in many publications, including Going Down Swinging, Etchings and the Blue Dog Poetry Anthology , and was recently part of Overland's Progressive Writers Masterclass. Here, Alec muses about the kind of poets you're likely to  meet at overland.org.au during Overload. Anonymous Poets The kind of Poet with angry skin and blistered rhymes using words like tattoos, needles for all his i's who slithers onto stages with ink, spits and sprays out a violence the snakes writhing over his forearms -- swell and sway and sing The kind of Poet who is looking for a lion to put her head into, for the mouth to be spacious, clean for running lion dreams of antelope, for lion hunger and jaws but all she ever finds is thoughts like fleas sucking out her words The kind of Poet that wants to change the world one page at a time, one pill at a time one brick at a time, one revolution at a time changing his mind like changing a tire -- while driving The kind of Poet who makes everyone laugh who loses herself in that sound, who loses her mind in that silence crashing over her bones after, because the blood is the lie of passion and love alone just gets tired in the shove and pull of her abandoned joke The kind of Poet who learned the Islamic prayers
