This event has sold out.
Join us to celebrate the launch of Wiradjuri poet Jeanine Leane’s new collection of personal and political poetry, Gawimarra: Gathering.
Cleverly divided into three parts, ‘Gathering’, ‘Nation’ and ‘Returning’, Gawimarra weaves back and forth in a dedication to strong matriarchs, and the core acts of gathering and returning – memory, language, history – resonate powerfully throughout. This remarkable book is the result of decades of poetic, political, and cultural work and reflection.
Free, but bookings are essential.
