How to Read A City, Your Place of Last Resort
Poetry Reading & Book Launch Evening
Join us at Westwords for the Parramatta launch of How to Read A City, Your Place of Last Resort.
Book your free tickets now, for an evening of poetry, music, conversation, and community as we celebrate the launch of Elizabeth’s new work alongside readings from emerging voices from the 5 Islands and Westwords communities.
The night will open with readings from two 5 Islands Poets, Hemat Malak and Kai Jensen. Then Elizabeth Walton will be in conversation with celebrated author, Suzanne Leal, offering a glimpse into the ideas, writing process, and themes behind Elizabeth’s new book, How To Read A City, Your Place of Last Resort followed by Elizabeth’s performance of selected works. These works will involve a listening experience of Richard Lawson’s song cycle for string quartet, performed by Acacia Quartet, which was recorded at Four Winds.
The evening concludes with an open mic session, inviting audience members to share their own poetry in a welcoming and supportive space.
Books will be available for purchase on the night, with an opportunity to meet the writers,
