Previously mentioned event featuring Mark Tredinnick book launch & reading is probably going to take place at the end of May. Watch out for announcement.
The March calendar of events is taking shape, and may have three events. At this stage the one definite gig will feature Robert Lloyd, reading poems, singing songs, on Wednesday the 23rd.
We're hoping also for a June or July reading & possible launching (if we can get copies of the book) by Kevin Hart.

RIVER ROAD CD DOUBLE LAUNCH! NOVEMBER 22nd, at GLENFERN, EAST ST KILDA

Come for the entire afternoon to the Australian Poetry Centre's final programme at the historic Glenfern mansion in East St Kilda, before they join the VWC & co at the Centre for Books, Writing & Ideas at the State Library of Victoria.
As far as I know, there's the launch of the new edition of the Famous Reporter, as well as Sarah Day's new book of poems, Grass Notes (Brandl & Schlesinger, Sydney). The meat in the sandwich is Carol Jenkins' River Road Press's double launch of Chris (The Domestic Sublime) & Kris (My Life in Theatre)'s spoken word CDs!
Some meat, some sandwich!

C O R R E C T I O N :
Am reliably informed that Famous Reporter will not be launching. Wires crossed for wch many apologies. In actual fact, Simon West will be launching his new book, Selected Poems of Guido Cavalcanti : Critical English edition (published by English press, Troubador). Now there is a little bird making noises in my left ear : get it right, she's saying : no more mistakes!
