Permapoesis
Permapoesis is the portmanteau for permanent making. A term I've developed, incorporating permaculture principles, shared Aboriginal knowledges and our own neopeasant lifeways to help reclaim sensible thought and remodel ecological economies of material accountability.
My most recent book, re:)Fermenting culture can now be listened to as a non-monetised audio book. Just click the pop out below. Gifts in exchange for this labour are most welcome, and in some form will be passed on in what I call a flow of gifts economy.
My name is Patrick Jones. I live and labour on Djaara peoples' country. Dja Dja Wurrung is the first language of this land. I acknowledge the six Djaara seasons and pay homage to the regenerative economies upon which Djaara living culture sits. The spirit and logic of which my household draws upon in our everyday productions and lifeways while simultaneously drawing upon our own indigenous peoples through story and the ancestral plants, animals, microbes, mushrooms and uncapitalised medicines that have also emplaced on this country. We recognise the system of racism that terra nullius continues to instil in the dominant culture, and recognise that as people of many diverse white cultures we still hold cultural blinders that our historical trauma sits within and (now) our privilege stands upon.
Here are some of my books. The bottom two can be purchased from me direct, however if you're moving to a non-monetary economy I'll post you one in exchange for a gift of your making. Please feel free to suggest an exchange by emailing me (click above 'Contact me' tab).

Such a great verbal description that I was able to realise we have salsify growing in our lawn! Pulled some out tonight and they were sauteed with a leek from my garden, mushrooms and a nob of butter. Delicious. :) Thank you!
thanks for saying so, and i enjoyed your post on salsify.
Hi Patrick
I recently watched your video and mini manifesto to dandelions - loved it!
You inspired to go out into the garden yesterday before work and dig some up; made a cup and I'll definitely be doing it again... I'm also planting a coffee tree which should grow well in our climate ;-).
that's great to hear dbird. when i first roasted dandelion i harvested false dandelion (hawksbeard and flatweed) and it tasted terrible. i was put off for a few years until i found out my error. not sure if you have all three species growing up your way but if you do and you want an easy way to identify dandelions from the other two, dandies have a single hollow stem and flower, whereas the other two have solid branching stems with multiple flowers.
Hi Patrick
I wouldn't say it tasted terrible, but it takes a bit to transition from the expectation of coffee to the realtiy of dandelion root! I figured coffee is an acquired taste anyway so I'd press on. Thanks for the tip - I'll be sure to investigate the dandies in my yard.
Ps - I'm the Dave that emailed you about stopping in at our place when you're passing through the Central Coast of NSW - perhaps we'll get the chance to talk more on the topic of forage based beverages (amongst other things)!
ah, great dave. i look forward to that.
