To celebrate her extraordinary new book, Ali Whitelock will be joined by poets Tamryn Bennett, David Stavanger and Ali Jane Smith for a Poetry Extravaganza at Ryan’s Hotel on Wednesday, October 11th at 7pm.

Then on Saturday 14th, Holly Throsby will be in-conversation with musician Deborah Conway talking about Book of Life, her no-holds-barred memoir – join us at 2pm at Coledale RSL.

The Pages & Pints Book Club on Thursday 19th will look at Jane Harrison’s The Visitors. We predict this thought-provoking book will become an essential Australian read. It began as an award-winning stage play and has been reworked for a season at Merrigong Theatre, October 25-28.
