Two launches for THE NIGHT STAIR by John Foulcher

Join us to celebrate to launch of John Foulcher’s thirteenth poetry collection THE NIGHT STAIR.
There are two launches, one in Sydney and the other in ACT.

SYDNEY

Sunday 25th May, 2:30 pm for 3:00 pm
LAUNCHED BY JUDITH NANGALA CRISPIN

John Foulcher’s thirteenth poetry collection in many ways represents his best work yet.
On every page the assured voice of a seasoned poet rings out, one moment reflective and remorseful, the next salty and sardonic. That quiet, larrikin sense of humour his readers know so well bubbles along just under the surface, never more so than in the classroom and the bedroom.
The sensibility is essentially Australian, the bush never far from his mind, yet the reach is universal in space, time and spirit.
