Side Walks is a dynamic, one-day celebration of storytelling in its various forms across Northbridge and the Perth CBD. Bringing together artists, writers, journalists and poets from across multiple disciplines, Side Walks presents six free unique events in venues both usual and unusual. From poetry to crime writing, literature to oral storytelling, these engaging events will inspire, challenge, and delight.

Some books will always have a special place in our hearts. The books that inspired us, comforted us, or called us to action. The provocative, contemplative and challenging. The books that divide our lives into ‘before’ and ‘after’, never to be the same again. Writers Tinashe Jakwa, Alicia Tuckerman, and Raphael Farmer discuss the pivotal books of their lives.
