Compulsive Reader Talks

Following the cancelled Newcastle Writers Festival, Gillian Swain and I decided to launch her new poetry book, My skin its own sky,  online.  The launch was featured in this year's online Newcastle Writers Festival #NWFSTORIESTOYOU (see video link below). My skin its own sky was published in Dec 2019 by Flying Island Books, and is Gillian's second published work following Sang Up (Picaro Press, 2001). Gillian lives in East Maitland with her husband and their four children, where they run their successful coffee roasting business, River Roast Video version of launch: https://youtu.be/Z0ZxKQj2dkg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gillian.swain.75 River Roast Coffee: https://riverroast.com
