Cabi Hollows widow of Fred Hollows (ophthalmologist) Launched
Max Williams The Unforgiving Poem, Max read several poems from his book, while a
little unstable on his feet, due to his age, the four short poems read, one to
his daughter where of an inner personal beauty that require further
readings.
Robert Adamson and Juno Gemes founders of Paper Bark
Press Launched Zoo, Juno read introductions form John
Kinsella and Coral Hull, who unfortunately could not attend the
launch.
Pam Brown launched Calyx, edited by Peter Minter and
Michael Brennan, during the Sydney Writers Festival earlier this
year, I attended the readings from Calyx, and found some
most startling works, my favourite was from Jane Gibian, (hope the spelling
is correct) this book is a must have addition from new
Australian poets, launched soon in the UK.
Paper Bark Press must be congratulated for the continued
effort and support for Australian poetry.
