*Kevin Gillam*, poet and cellist, has had two books of poems published by
Sunline Press, ‘Other Gravities’ (2003) and ‘Permitted to Fall’ (2007), two
chapbooks published by Picaro Press, ‘shouting drowning’ (2006) and ‘closer
to now’ (2010), and a shared anthology ‘the forest waits’ with Lucy Dougan
and Andrew Taylor. He has appeared as a guest at the Queensland, Overload

Next week 3 July at Perth Poetry Club*
Next week we feature respected local poet Lucy Dougan.
*Lucy’s first book **Memory Shell (Five Islands Press, 1998) won the Mary
Gilmore Award in 2000. Since the early 1990s she has been published in a
range of journals both here and overseas, and has also had work represented
in anthologies. A new book, **White Clay, which won the Alec Bolton Prize
for an unpublished manuscript in the 2006 ACT Poetry Prize, was published by
Giramondo in 2008. She has recently completed a PhD at UWA.*
As many people know, Lucy has done a lot of good work supporting WA
literature -- and she also does one of the most important jobs of all...
she's a mother.
