​FESTIVAL EVENT 2021

online via zoom 
A time of beauty and loss
Delia Falconer with Danielle Celermajer
Sponsored by Paula McLean
Date:  Saturday 9 October 2021
Time: 13.00 - 14.00 AEDT
Location: Zoom video conferencing app. To set up zoom download from zoom.us/download.
In her new book Signs and Wonders, Delia Falconer explores how global warming is changing our culture, our very selves and our experiences of the world as well as our climate and the life of all living creatures on the planet. In these poetic essays she explores how to live now. Delia will be talking to Danielle Celermajer whose recent Summertime: Reflections on a Vanishing Future invites us to look at all that is dying around us as our shared home is lost.
Our Festival bookseller, Better Read than Dead, can provide all the Festival books.
