Lucy Willks & Leone Gabrielle

Lucy Wilks is a Melbourne based writer who enjoys playing with metrical constraints and traditional forms. Her work has appeared in ‘Verse,’ ‘Meanjin,’ ‘Southerly,’ ‘Otoliths,’ ‘Plumwood Mountain,’ ‘Cordite,’ and ‘Rabbit’, ‘Meniscus’.Leone Gabrielle writes in company of crickets and thirsty plants, from Seymour, a snaking town on Taungurung country. Her work has appeared in Minds Shine Bright, Spineless Wonders, La Piccioletta Barca. Published: Plumwood Mountain, Meanjin, Rochford St. Review, KalliopeX, Meniscus. 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.’ Lucy and Leone have endeavoured to take pains, exert themselves by labouring together, a pleasure distinct from that of solo authorship, rewarding in a way that brings a different dimension to each of their contributions, to the yield of the fields they plough.
