Onward: Celebrating Robert Adamson

‘…a peace 

I’ve never known before – a luminous absence

of time, pain, sex, thought of everything 

but the light.’ 

Join us for a commemoration of the late poet’s life and work. With readings by Judith Beveridge, Robbie Coburn, Keri Glastonbury, Sarah Holland-Batt, and Mark Mordue with DC Cross. Robert Adamson’s partner Juno Gemes will also present a clip of the film she produced of his final reading at Brett Whiteley Studio for the launch of his last collection Reaching Light.

Hosted by Michele Seminara.
