SheppARTon Festival - Poet's Breakfast with Ross Donlon
In keeping with the Castlemaine theme for all sources of things literary and poetic, Ross Donlon is the 2012 Shepparton Festival poet.
Ross has just returned from reading at the prestigious Wenlock Poetry Festival in the UK after winning their competition, which was judged by the English Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy. While he was in Europe he completed a residence in Norway and worked in Tuscany, Italy. We are honoured and privileged to have Ross with us before he heads off to Ireland to take up another residency there in 2012.
Ross has a number of published works and has won numerous awards. He is also an accomplished and generous teacher or poetry as well as an entertaining speaker. If you have never been to a Poet's Breakfast before consider going to this one. You will not be disappointed.
The Connection will supply us with a delicious breakfast before Ross speaks about writing poetry and answers questions from the audience.
