4th Biennial Watermark Literary Muster
Kendall, 30 minutes south of Port Macquarie NSW
19th – 22nd June 2009
The Watermark Literary Muster is a unique event that invites readers and writers to share and enjoy the literature of nature and place.
In 2009 the theme is WOOD - forests, trees, fire, artisans and artifacts, philosophies, opinions, conflicts - and the literature and stories that embrace it.
The packed program includes readings, conversations, panel sessions, nature excursions, literary meals, performances, art, book launches and formal and informal discussion.
Invited writers are Bob Beale, John Blay, John Daniel (from Oregon USA), Sue Feary, Bill Gammage, Tom Griffiths, Ashley Hay, Peter Hay, Anthony Lawrence, Carolyn Leach-Paholski, Roger McDonald, Grace Pundyk, Ian Ridgway, Nicolas Rothwell, Peter Solness, Mark Tredinnick, Roger Underwood and Elizabeth Webby.
The Literary Dinner, on Saturday June 20, features Dr Peter Hay, an essayist, poet and social commentor with a particulat interest in the relationship between people and their places, and in the sociology of forest conflict.
At the Sunday evening Words and Music concert luthiers Dale Jacobsen and Doug Eaton will present a program of Celtic and Mediaeval/ Renaissance music using timber instruments they have made. This will be followed by Iintombi Zicula, St Columba Anglican School Port Macquarie’s acclaimed acapella ensemble, with a program of song, performance poetry and dance.
The 2009 Literary Muster is dedicated to Eric Rolls who provided the impetus for the creation of the Watermark Literary Society in 2003.
