This Saturday 3rd December we have wonderful poet Mardi May and the launch of her new anthology Paintbox, launch by Rita Tognini + open-mike at the Moon and on Zoom.
As a lonely 13-year-old, Mardi started writing a diary and now has a trunk filled with a lifetime of days, which are fertile memories for her writing. She has a collection of award-winning short stories and poetry often prompted by these records. As a member of KSP, she facilitated the Social History writing group for 20 years and the poetry group for 16. KSP became her other home and she was awarded a life membership. She has five books of social history and Paintbox is her 10th book of poetry. Poetry is a close companion and the poetry community of Perth her extended family.
PAINTBOX is a a rollicking trip through the world of colour, its mythology, symbolism, science and its effect on our lives and well-being.
Launch speech by Rita Tognini, noted poet in her own right.
A great place to be this Saturday afternoon 2pm-4pm.
The venue is The Moon Café, 323 William St, Northbridge and on ZOOM.
