Cath Kenneally: The Green Room
We are delighted to host the launch of Cath Kenneally's, 'The Green Room'.
Cath Kenneally’s 'The Green Room' is a collection of beautiful and energized poems that takes stock of where we stand, in planetary terms, as caretakers of the seas, lakes and rivers of the world. These are poems about water, immersion, the Blue Planet. They plumb the depths, as it were, of our integral human connection with ocean and water.
The Green Room began as a set of seven poems commissioned by artist Chris De Rosa who, like Kenneally is a year-round sea swimmer, to accompany her sculptural work, 'SeaWeeding' (Museum of Economic Botany, Adelaide 2022). From that experience emerged this themed, full-length set of poems about water, immersion, the Blue Planet, the nature of our human fascination with the sea and waterways, the ordinary and the mysterious pull of the sea.
Free, but bookings are essential.
