Together with my Pittwater poet-pal Jenny Pollak, on 1 October 2018 we’re presenting an evening of our poetry at That Poetry Thing That is On At Smiths Every Monday; the venue is pretty much Poetry Central in the national capital. Expect plenty of watery metaphor, a sprinkle of sun-worship, and some old-school mermaids.

We’ll also be reading renga from ShadowPlay; Jenny’s recent collaboration with British poet Philip Gross (which arose from his visit to Canberra’s Poetry on the Move Festival in 2015).  Come along!

Smiths Alternative, Monday 1 October, 7-9pm, 76 Alinga Street, Canberra 2601, $5 entry
