Geoff Goodfellow returns to Writers’ Week with a reading of his new verse novella, ‘Blight Street, (Walleah Press), featuring Geoff and performers Roslyn Oades and Nic Darrigo.
(From the festival’s notes):
“Set in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, ‘Blight Street’ is written in the language and idiom of the culture it portrays. Harrowing but tender, ‘Blight Street’ draws on the vital themes that characterise Geoff’s writing: the working class struggle, the tragedy of addiction and the celebration of love.”
The reading (a free event, no need to book) is timed for 10.45 am, Monday 7th March, Plane Tree Stage, Pioneer Women’s Memorial Garden. It will followed by a short interview with Geoff, chaired by Rick Sarre.
