Poetry update

Hey-o! Today's the day of the poets!
1 – 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 --

Ever read 'The Seventh Doctor'? Yeah, of course you have. (If you haven't, prepare to weep.)
 
2 – Jill Jones, author of the amazing Dark Bright Doors, has won the Victorian Premier's Poetry Award!
Jill's latest book, The Beautiful Anxiety (Puncher & Wattman $25) has 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 – 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:
 

You're welcome.
