Delighted to once again be a ring-in feature for Poetry at Chrissy Hills on Thursday night in the beautiful Christmas Hills, following the last minute scratching of Gayelene Carbis.

I will read from my first book, Hyperbole, and work from a new project, Minor Responses to Major British Poets.

It’s a super friendly, inclusive and well-attended gig that is a real community event, full of local characters. Tea, coffee and supper snacks served. It will be too dark to see kangaroos at this time of year but there should be beautiful country stars.

Would love to see people.

Full deets:

Christmas Hills Mechanics’ Institute Hall. 787 Ridge Road, Christmas Hills, VIC, Melway 265 H12
