About this Event

We celebrate the release of An Embroidery of Old Maps and New. Migration and the memories of women’s traditions are woven throughout these poems. Angela Costi brings the world of Cyprus to Australia. Her mother encounters animosity on Melbourne’s trams as Angela learns to thread words in ways that echo her grandmother’s embroidery. Here are poems that sing their way across the seas and map histories.

Join us to discuss her new work and listen to poetry readings. Please RSVP with Eventbrite.

This is a free online event however we encourage you to purchase a copy of her book - in paperback, PDF or EPUB - prior to the event. Use the code FREEPOST at checkout for free postage on Australian orders.
