A rare opportunity: an in-store poetry reading from Colleen Keating

One of the great joys we have at Red Kangaroo Books is the opportunity to host writers on behalf of our readers—and this is a special event!
Colleen Keating, author of Olive Muriel Pink: her radical and idealistic life, will be here at Red Kanga to read with us some of her work from the book. This is fabulous timing in conjunction with the Olive Pink Opera, a key highlight of the. Desert Song Festival.

Olive Pink’s life floats off the page – very much the character I’ve come to know and admire while translating her experience into music across this past decade.  Colleen Keating gives us a seriously beautiful work based on research that brings Olive vividly to life.  It is wonderful to see the astonishing story of this Australian woman Olive Pink, given the attention she so deserves.
Such a visionary
