Appearance: The Masked Bards Ball
Here is what is happening at Live Poets @ Don Bank for Wednesday, July 23rd.
On a night billed as 'An Evening of Speculation', a 'Masked Bards Ball', KYLA LEE WARD and DAVID REITER will feature in individual guest spots. Kyla Lee Ward will perform material from her book: 'Land of Bad Dreams' and new work. David Reiter will present his ground-breaking memoir book/ebook 'My Planets'. There will also be the Sydney launch of an anthology of Australian speculative poetry 'Stars Like Sand' which includes the work of many of Australia's leading poets such as Les Murray, Peter Goldsworthy, Judith Beveridge and many more.
And what about the 'Masked Bards Ball' bit of the evening you ask? There is going to be music and dancing in the courtyard over supper.
Patrons will be invited to don a mask of their choosing or use one provided. Readers in the open section will be asked to reveal themselves through their mask during their presentation.
Don Bank Cottage, at 6 Napier St, North Sydney, is the oldest wooden house in this area. Built in the first half of the 19th century, it was acquired by North Sydney Council in 1979 and converted into a local history museum. It is a highly atmospheric venue, and I will taking full advantage of the fact. For bookings, please contact the Convenor, Danny Gardner, on 9896 6956.
