DSC01082
Last month a new collection of poems by Venie Holmgren was published. Since then Venie has had launches in Daylesford and Castlemaine promoting The Tea House Poems. The  Melbourne launch will be held this Thursday Dec 5th (4.30pm) at Collected Works bookshop in the city.
Most people report they just love Venie’s poetry, as well here are some endorsements from people who know what they are talking about:

It’s rare to find a book that works so well as a sustained, quiet sequence, with a real sense of personality and as well as sharp intelligence

Ross Gillett

The most beautiful collection of poetry I have read in the longest time.

Jordie Albiston

I hold her teahouse poems more gently than I do most, in my hands.

Kathy Kituai

Exquisite and glorious

Lizz Murphy

Perfectly poised work. A remarkable book.

Peter O’Mara

A lovely production, perfectly suited to your [Venie’s] spare, elegant poems.

Chris Mansell

A much needed story of old age told by a master poet.

Dorothy Bysouth
