At this event, both poet and artist will speak about their work. You will hear selected poems and view projections of linocuts. You will experience Cretans and ANZACs grappling side by side in Crete during the Nazi invasion.
Transplanted into an ancient land Australian soldiers seem to be coming of age under the gaze of the Bull, experiencing the horrors of war while also encountering the legendary hospitality of Cretans prepared to give their lives for freedom.
Books will be on sale on the day. Everyone welcome.
