Melbourne… ‘The Party of Life’ launch in December

Thank you to all who came to the  Sydney launch at The Friend in Hand in Glebe for The Party of Life (click here for photos — great bunch of people!). Big thanks to Bernard Cohen for the launching (video available soon), and to Claudia Taranto, Snow Li and Pam Brown for readings. A wonderful and warm afternoon.

Next stop… Melbourne.

To be launched by reviewer/critic and poet, Peter Kenneally, with contributing MC, Daryl Dellora, and a reading of some poems in Chinese by Emily Yuting Chen.

Meanwhile if you can’t make the launch and would like a copy — you can order one here. Limited numbers at the moment, so grab a copy if you want one, only $10 plus $2 for post and packing.

If you’re on FaceBook, the event invite is here for Melbourne. Feel free to invite yourself, and to share it with anyone you think might be interested.

The Party of Life is a bilingual (English and Chinese) new and selected poems, published by ASM/Flying Islands for the Pocket Book translation series, edited by Kit Kelen. Big thanks to my translator Ruby Chen and to Iris Fan for additional translations.

If you would like a review copy, let me know. And if you know any teachers of Chinese who might like a PDF copy, I’m happy to send them one. 

Feeling very lucky to have another book out and another excuse for a party (it’s almost exactly a year since I launched Vagabondage) — hope to see you there!
