READING POETRY @ UNIVERSITY HOUSE

Reading new work (sky theme) and maybe some old favourites at University House (ANU) on Wednesday May 15. Also looking forward to hearing Keith Harrison (Canberra) and Andrew Taylor (Sydney). Thanks as always to dedicated long-time Coordinator Geoff Page. Please note the new time (now 7.00 pm) and new venue (now Graduate Lounge). Snacks and meals available beforehand in the bistro.

Keith Harrison is currently working on a number of new projects including some 'visual poems' and is putting finishing touches to a memoir and a short novel. His latest collection of poems is Love, Variously, which appeared in 2018.

 

Andrew Taylor has published eighteen collections of poems, the most recent being The unhaunting (Salt, UK 2009) and Impossible Preludes (Margaret River Press, 2016). After living in Adelaide, then Perth, for many years, he now divides his time between Sydney and Wiesbaden in Germany.
