Recently, I’ve been busy recording some of my favourite Illawarra and South Coast poets for our forthcoming poetry anthology 34-37 Degrees South, Country which is due out later this year from the South Coast Writers Centre.

To whet your appetite, here’s a few poets (Dr Elanna Herbert, Sandra Renew, Kai Jensen and Moira Kirkwood) reading their poems and talking about the making of these works.

Ash Taylor is a muralist and multi-disciplinary artist captivated and inspired by the beauty found in Australian landscapes and our natural environment. 

Her work is vibrant and energetic, mixing carefully chosen colour palettes, gestural mark making and illustrative style to create a connection between the viewer and nature. By bringing the natural environment to public, urbanized, spaces, Ash amplifies the detail of nature and creates space for consideration of conservation and preservation of our ecosystems. http://ashtaylr.com
