Event description

Ross Donlon Book Launch

The Book of Clouds
50 Ghazals

Saturday 20 September at 2pm

Please join us for the launch of The Naming of Clouds. Ross Donlon's 7th book of poetry.

The book will be launched by eminent poet, Joel Deane, who writes, 'Temporal, spiritual, elemental: this bookis Blakean. It reads like Ross Donlon's combination of Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. The poems create 'a path made by words' sometimes in the voice of a child, sometimes the voice of a man...Written in ghazal form, the poems have a totemic beat...The elemental imagery resonates throughout the collection...Deeply felt and deeply moving...'

This is a free event but is a fund raiser for Food Bank. All welcome.

Books are available for $20.

It’s also a place for friends and strangers to come together to share a secret film screening or talk. There’s The Coolroom Bar, where drinks are at reasonable prices, and The Coolroom Cinema home to the Free Sunday Secret Movie Matinee.

There are also other events, workshops and talks and Festivals that find home in our dedicated and flexible space. Recently we are proud to be involved in the Castlemaine Fringe, Castlemaine Jazz and Castlemaine Pride Festivals.
