On 15 May, join us at Westwords for the Parramatta launch of Elizabeth Walton’s How to Read a City: Your Place of Last Resort.
Elizabeth is an emerging literary writer and cross-disciplinary artist and performer. Elizabeth will read from and discuss her book with celebrated author, Suzanne Leal, providing a glimpse into its ideas, writing process, and themes. This will be followed by with readings from two more 5 Islands poets, Hemat Malak and Kai Jensen, followed by an open mic session.
This is an event you won’t want to miss.
If you can’t make it to the launch, don’t despair: Elizabeth will be making two other appearances in Sydney, one before and one after the launch. You can catch her reading at Poetica Petit Poetry Night, at the Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf on 14 May. And on 17 May, Elizabeth will be reading in a cross-disciplinary performance with the Acacia Quartet and award-winning musician Richard Lawson at The Church, 9 Mitchell Rd, Alexandria on the following link.
Praise for Elizabeth's book
"... a book of spells, an invocation, an inter-species prayer calling us to pay attention to the permanent markers of our message”

“a call to urgent action, but … also a love letter to what is still present, precious and possible”
