For the Record: Dionysius Unbound: An Interview with Brett Dionysius

Abstract

Brett Dionyius was born in Dalby, Western Queensland in 1969. In addition to a humble pursuit of his own poetic craft, he spent a selfless last decade of the twentieth century raising both the standards, and profile, of Queensland poetry. Here, Brett, former chairperson of Fringe Arts Collective Inc. and Director of Queensland's major, annual poetry event The Subverse: Queensland Poetry Festival, speaks with Paul Hardacre about festivals, funding, finding the muse, and what it is to be a man.
