Of course, you don't need reminding about the readings tomorrow afternoon at Seksen's!Joining us will be Australian poet, Patricia Sykes currently on an Asialink Residency Programme at Rimbum Dahan and writing the libretto for an opera.
Patricia lives and writes in the Dandenongs in Victoria, and has published two collections of poetry. Her first, Wire Dancing (1999) was commended in the Anne Elder and the Mary Gilmore awards for 2000. Her second, Modewarre: Home Ground appeared in November 2004.She has also written the poetic text for Mother Tongue, a piece for soprano and fifteen instruments, commissioned by the acclaimed young Australian composer, Liza Lim.
Here's an interview with Andy Jackson about her work which appeared in the Cordite Poetry Review last year. And you can enjoy some of her poems here.
