Congratulations, Andrew on your new book - hope all goes well at the launch. Best wishes Helen Hagemann > >Hello all. I am just sending out invitations in the form of a colourful >bookmark to the launch of my new collection, called 'Whispering Gallery', 3 >pm on Sunday 4 November at Tom Collins House Writers Centre, cnr Kirkwood >and Wood Streets, Swanbourne (strategically placed between the Australian >Army's rifle range and a nudist beach). I extend this open invitation to >listees to attend. > >It is, numerically, my fifth book. However, I shudder at the thought of my >first couple, so I kind of think of it as my third 'serious' mature book. >Local poet Roland Leach has put together a li'l poetry press called Sunline >Press, and I am second in his series, with his collection Drowning Ophelia >being the first. I am flattered that he asked me, and am very happy with >the production qualities of the book: a sharp cover, hardback volume with >quality papers. > >If perchance you are in Perth - either living here or passing through - >come and check out the lamingtons and cordial on the day. Well, there could >also be some cheap wine and stale sandwiches. > >Poet and Professor Andrew Taylor is doing the honours. He swears he does a >quick speech, and I will simply read a coupla poems and shut up. Promise. > >Whispering Gallery retails at $25AUS, and you can contact the publisher at >[log in to unmask] for copies. > > >---------------------------------------- >Andrew Burke Copywriting >[log in to unmask] Creative Writing >http://www.bam.com.au/andrew/ Editing >---------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
