L&L

Lucy Wilks is a Melbourne based writer who enjoys playing with metrical constraints and traditional forms. Leone Gabrielle writes in company of crickets and thirsty plants, from Seymour, a snaking town on Taungurung country. Etymologically, ‘collaboration’ stems from the Latin assimilated form of com (‘with’) plus laborare (‘to work’). In contemporary Spanish, Portuguese, and French, it means ‘to plough.’ We have endeavoured to take pains, exert ourselves by labouring together, a pleasure distinct from that of solo authorship, rewarding in a way that brings a different dimension to each of our contributions, to the yield of the fields we plough.
