I’m excited to reveal the cover of my new collection, The Office of Literary Endeavours, which is in the process of being published by 5 Islands Press. Many thanks to Judith Nangala Crispen for the use of her Lumachrome glass print, Blue Wren and for 5 Islands Press for the overall design. Thanks also to Amanda Joy, John Jenkins, Robbie Coburn and Tina Giannoukos who provided endorsements for the cover.
Stay tuned for presales, publication dates and launch details.
This coming Sunday I will be doing the honours and formally launching not one but two books by Michael Witts at the wonderful Shop Gallery in Glebe Point Road. I first read Michael’s work in 1982, the year Adam Aitken and I started P76 magazine, when Fling Poetry published his third collection, Dumb Music. More recently I have enjoyed more recent work his has been published in various journals and magazines and we now have the pleasure seeing this new work collected together.
If you are in Sydney this Sunday try and make it to the Shop Gallery to see me launch 28 Sonnets and Some Dualities and. more importantly, hear Michael read from these collections.
