Hey-o! Today’s the day of the poets!<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 You should all come down to Wakefield Press at 4 pm on Saturday 14 February to celebrate one of this state’s premier poets, the inimitable Geoff Goodfellow. There’ll be wine, a giant poster unveiling (!), and I’m pretty sure Geoff can be convinced to give a reading or two —<\/p>\n

\"<em>Opening<\/p>\n

Ever read ‘The Seventh Doctor’<\/a>? Yeah, of course you have. (If you haven’t, prepare to weep.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 \u2013\u00a0Jill Jones, author of the amazing Dark Bright Doors<\/a><\/em>, has won the Victorian Premier’s Poetry Award!
\nJill’s latest book, The Beautiful Anxiety<\/em> (Puncher & Wattman $25)\u00a0has been described as ‘an invigorating and unsettling mix of materialist and speculative writing on the interconnectedness of life amidst the environmental and cultural turmoil of the 21st century’.

3 \u2013 Maybe not quite poetry, or news, but I feel like y’all have been so well behaved that you deserve some Jackson Browne for your Thursday afternoon:<\/p>\n
