A Guide to Field and Wood
Join us to celebrate the launch of the Centre’s creative director Robert Wood’s new book. Written over many years A Guide to Field and Wood spans continents and eras to reflect on what it means to love. There are themes of connection, belonging, relationships, woven into a new and exciting tale of who we are and where we live.
On the evening, poems from the book will be read by Kim Lateef and Kaya Ortiz, followed by a conversation with Danae Gibson.
Light refreshments will be served. Books will be for sale on the night for $15.
