About this Event
Poet Sue Ellson's Three Poetry Books Launch
Join us for a welcoming, authentic and friendly in-person launch of three new poetry books by Melbourne poet and author Sue Ellson that has taken 10 years to percolate and several months to make! Of course there had to be a coffee reference when the launch is in Melbourne!
Sue has already hosted book launches for her five non-fiction books on the topics of LinkedIn, careers, business, hyper local marketing and gigsters, so this launch is for Sue's sixth, seventh and eighth independently published books (with the advice and support of an author advisor)!
Hosted in the Hawthorn Arts Centre Community Arts Space with live music and fabulous city views, this event invites you into a world where words bring fun and meaning into your life and everyone can feel safe and respected.
🌿 What's Included? - Live Music, Poetry Readings, Interview, Questions and Answers
Sue Ellson has published over 170 poems on her sueellson.com website and she is seeking your encouragement and support for her first three poetry books.

📚 About the Three Poetry Books - for lovers, for you and for your life
Sue’s three new poetry books span emotional depth, lived experience, and thoughtful observation.
You’ll find poems that comfort, challenge, inspire, and illuminate — crafted with clarity, honesty, and a distinctive Australian voice.
Whether you’re discovering Sue’s work for the first time or have followed her creative poetry evolution over the years via her website, this launch offers a rare opportunity to experience the full breadth of her poetic contribution in one celebratory moment.
Book A - ❤️Poems for lovers to read to each other
Designed for two lovers to read to one another, some poems are written to be read alternately and others by one of you as a single piece. They are a combination of fun, cheeky, romantic and reflective to start you both on the journey of reading to one another in the future. They are all gender neutral and respectful and are designed to bring you giggles, play and joy.
Book B - 💙Poems for me to truly be
Indulge in and remind yourself of how far you have travelled on the journey of life and reflect on what you have learned and what you can consider in the future. Whilst Sue often jokes about calling this book 'Dr Seuss meets Dr Phil,' it is designed to be accessible, insightful and empowering in a way that works for you so that you can 'truly be.'
Book C - 💛The Prophetess
Based on ,' this book allows you to explore the deeper meanings of life and living in our contemporary world. It reinterprets the original work in a conversational prose storytelling way so that you can reflect on how you want to live your unique life going forward.
Together, these three poetry books help you look at your life and acknowledge how uniquely wonderful life can truly be.
