Event details

We are delighted to welcome two established and much published Mount Gambier poets to our June Poets' Corner.

Linda Walker and Jean McArthur wrote a joint poetry collection, Weather Eyes, published by Ginninderra Press in January 2024, and have each published poetry collections before this shared book. Here is a snippet from a review of Weather Eyes: "Through highly-charged language and rich imagery Weather Eyes takes us on a journey to vivid album moments, of memories dark and light. Some scenes are blurry, others midday bright, or hazily surreal. Two masters of their craft distilling the intangible into words."

Linda is a writer, artist and independent curator living on Boandik Land in the southeast of South Australia. She has a PhD in literature, and her poetry, fiction and academic essays have been published in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the UK.

Jean was raised on a Limestone Coast sheep farm. She only began jotting the word-rhythms in her head in the 1990s. A wide traveller, she has works in three poetry books, five anthologies and with her sister, edited writings of their mother’s.

This promises to be a highly entertaining session - don't miss it!
$15 general admission, $12 concession.
