You are warmly invited to the book launch of Everything, Singing - a first collection of poems by Elizabeth Lewis.

Elizabeth will be in conversation with her friend and writing industry colleague Jess Gately.

"Reading Elizabeth Lewis’s debut collection Everything, Singing is like turning a corner to see the ocean or stepping into a forest of birdsong; it reminds us of the world’s magnificence, and of our good fortune to be part of it. These poems are abundant in joy and compassion, in reverence, gratitude, love. They both embody and transcend, and her choices in diction, image, meter are exquisite and resonant." - Marcella Polain

Books will be available for purchase on the day courtesy of the publisher 5 Islands Press.
