About
Join us for a special evening of poetry from renowned Australian author David Brooks. The evening will begin with a short performance by local poet Michael Crane, who will introduce Brooks before inviting him to read.David Brooks has published six collections of poetry. His latest, The Peanut Vendor—a sequence of forty-eight luminous new poems—appears in his New and Selected volume The Other Side of Daylight.
Wise, lyrical and resonant, The Other Side of Daylight distils a long and honoured poetry career with a marvellous selection from his five previous volumes. The Other Side of Daylight was awarded the 2025 Prime Minister’s Award for Poetry, and Brooks is also the recipient of the 2025 Patrick White Award.
