Seasonal Poets | Summer
About
Seasonal Poets is a quarterly gathering of poetic talent, organised by Gina Mercer, Anne Collins, and Irene McGuire, and has been running for ten years. At each session, three different poets are invited to share their work.The Seasonal Poets program for the Summer reading will feature Ben Walter, Adrienne Eberhard and Esther Ottaway.
Ben Walter is a Walkley award-winning essayist, and the author of a book of short stories, What Fear Was, and the new poetry collection, Lithosphere. His poems explore the Tasmanian natural world in surprising ways.
Adrienne Eberhard has published six collections of poetry. The latest, Marie & Marie, was published in Paris as a bilingual edition, translated into French by Catherine de Saint Phalle. Adrienne's poems explore love, nature, history and the way place shapes people.
Esther Ottaway is the winner of the $25,000 Tim Thorne Prize for Poetry in the Tasmanian Literary Awards, and holds multiple national and international shortlistings. Her poems are about family bonds, Tasmanian life, experiences of joy, and winter swimming!
Tickets are $12, and include a glass of wine or non-alcoholic drink.
