Arrival of a major new poet”! Congratulations to Canberra author Melinda Smith for winning the #PMLiterAwards poetry prize for her book titled, Drag down to unlock or place an emergency call. The judges described the book as ...full of unexpected and richly varied pleasures. There are poems with a lightness of touch, and a self-deprecating tone, but there are also poems that deal with more serious matters.” They go on to declare “...this collection announces the arrival of a major new poet.” Great accolades, Melinda! Come along to the Heritage Library (where the stories of Canberra and its people are preserved) or to the Local Author Showcase in Civic Library to read Drag down to unlock or place an emergency call”. Or drop in to your local branch and borrow one of Melindas other published works. #CBR #poetry #localauthor #CraftACT #PittStPoetry
