Loran Steinberg is featured in a regrettably rare extended set of her poetry. In it, she reveals herself to be a sensitive and quirky poet of highly diverse means. There are long stream of consciousness episodes, short biting word quips, and other stuff in between. Ela and Santo put her under scrutiny in their interview. Loran comes out of it all gliding confidently, talking not only about her writing and performing, but also the developing and exciting new poetry scene in Footscray.

Loran Steinberg's poetry can be observational, personal and is often written as a sort of interior monologue, sometimes dialogue. She has been writing on and off for most her life. Focusing primarily on poetry for the last three years. The fascinating thing that is poetry and the poetry community has kept her interest ever since. She printed off a short zine in 2013 called Stuff I Wrote and has featured at poetry readings in Melbourne and Adelaide, where she grew up. A new zine should be coming out any month now.Her Poem “Moodswings” was published in 2014 in Page17 Issue 11, coming second in the poetry competition and earning exciting actual money. She collects odd facts and long words that are rarely ever useful and is learning to play cello. She loves living in Melbourne, particularly Footscray and was easier to recognise when she still had blue hair.Randall and Smarty are at it again. In fact they've never really stopped being at it. Attempting to arrest your attention with words. Poetry for people to enjoy. It's a concept they believe in with some vigour. Damned for being entertaining seems like a strange concept in a society that is prepared to be entertained by damn near anything. Perhaps if they were sitting in a room with a camera whining that their souffles didn't set the way they hoped or that some faceless minion hadn't restocked their free beer fridge... So they're gonna take their frustrations out on the microphone and stick it where it fits - right in your ear! Their shows have been described as dynamic and hilarious, full of movement and colourful language (swearing). See what the fuss has been about from Perth to Preston and several other places that don't begin with 'P'.
