Brisbane Phrasebooks

The Queensland Poetry Festival – held at the Judith Wright Centre in Fortitude Valley in Brisbane last weekend – invited Jean Kent to join the raft of national and international poets featured on the festival roster.  Jean read from her new collection Travelling with the Wrong Phrasebooks on Saturday and again on Sunday.  The books themselves arrived from the printers just in time, and the festival bookstore did a brisk trade in both the hard back and paperback versions.

Each of which, by the way, are now available for purchase on-line from our friendly, easy to use Emporium. 

The Assumption in Canberra

The bitterly cold, wet and windy Canberra night, we are delighted to report, did not dissuade 63 loyal Foulcher followers from turning out to hear Susan Hampton undertake the home town launch of John Foulcher’s new collection The Sunset Assumption on Thursday 9th August.   Including most if not all of Canberra’s poetry heavyweights.  Watch our Facebook pages for the photographic evidence.
