On Saturday 24 September I had the great honour of launching Critical State, the new book of poetry from B.R. Dionysius. It was a terrific launch event, held at Under the Greenwood Tree bookshop and art gallery at Tamborine Mountain, in warm sunshine and with great anticipation. I mentioned in my launch speech that this was a great coup for Calanthe Press. Critical State is an important book – and provides a stunning commentary on the state of Queensland’s environment. You’ll be able to read the full speech via Calanthe’s website soon and you can also head there to order yourself a copy of the book.
Below are some photos from the Poets@Zamia pop-up the evening before, as well as the launch itself.
