Bus shelter to book
15 NOVEMBER 2013
What does a bus shelter have in common with the annual collection of poetry and prose produced by the Booranga Writers' Centre at Charles Sturt University (CSU)? The Centre’s 2013 fourW anthology will preserve forever in print the eight poems which have featured on Wagga Wagga bus shelters since 2011. Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Mr David Gilbey, from CSU’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences said the bus stop poems and their distinctive illustrations add to the eclectic mix of writing styles and subject matter in the literary anthology. “For 24 years fourW has provided a voice for regional writers, an opportunity for new writers to be published and a meeting place for writers from around Australia and overseas to come together for a ‘global’ literary conversation,” he said. CSU Head of Campus Ms Miriam Dayhew will officially launch fourW twenty-four on Saturday 23 November from 2pm at the Wagga Wagga City Library. Winners of the Booranga Prize for best poem and best short story will also be announced. The anthology is produced with support from the NSW Government through Arts NSW, Wagga Wagga City Council, and CSU.
