A Celebration of Poetry: One Year of the New 5 Islands Press

  • Bluestone Church Art Space Hyde Street 8A Hyde Street Footscray, VIC, 3011 Australia (map)

The press began in Port Kembla, of course, in sight of the five islands for which it is named, and after some time in Melbourne where it travelled with Ron Pretty, it has made its home again in the Illawarra. Our poets, though, come from everywhere, and many, including our first (Sue), come from south of the Murray, and that’s where we’ll be on Friday 4 July.
 
The gig, starting at 6pm at the Bluestone Church in Footscray, will include readings, a panel conversation on lyric poetry, and some fine choral music (including a world premiere) from the Lorelei Quartet. 

Venue: Bluestone Church Art Space 

Date: Friday, 4 July 2025

Time: 5:30 pm - 8:00. pm
