 | SEAMARK PAMPHLETS #1 1998 With the poet's own drawings, the song-cycle had won the Mattara Illustrated Poetry Prize in 1998. Sybil Smith's computer-generated birds add an extra, subtle element to the quatrains evoking the life of Lake Macquarie from dawn through to midnight.

| SEAMARK PAMPHLETS #2 1998 by RON VICKRESS 'BLACK BEGINNINGS (A Creation Fable)' Illustrations and Design by Colette Douchkov. Set in the day of creation on which the birds were created and decked out in their finery, this story tells how the last bird to turn up impudently attempts to wheedle colours and combinations out of the Great Earth Spirit, even though it has been offered only a choice of black or white.

| SEAMARK PAMPHLETS #3 1999 by ZENY GILES 'VINTAGE CROP' Cover and Illustrations by Ruth Urhig Samuels. This delightful short story had been one of the prizewinners in the ABC Radio National Books and Writing competition in 1995. It not only evokes a Greek migrant response to the Hunter Valley wineries, from an amusingly unsympathetic perspective, but also includes an excellent recipe for the vine leaf rolls that the story focuses upon.
