Green Leaves

So often writers expect greener pastures on the other side of publication. But what happens when the national book tours and thick royalty cheques don’t quite materialise? Green Leaves brings you two poets: Manveen Kohli and Lakshmi Kanchi (SoulReserve) and their editors J Eh Kaw Thaw Saw and Marise Phillips in a panel discussion about their journeys from ‘Instagram poet’ to international publication, and everything in between.

Please note: This event will take place at 6:00pm Australian Western Standard Time

This event is presented in partnership with Centre for Stories.
