Guest Speaker
Colleen Keating: Ring the Bells – Book Launch
Power of Poetry
Libby Hathorn in conversation with Colleen Keating will launch Colleen’s poetry book,
Ring the Bells.
In Ring the Bells, award-winning poet Colleen Keating invites readers to listen closely – to the chimes of joy, the tolls of grief and the quiet notes of love that echo through our shared human experience.
Moving through four sections – Embracing Light, Embracing Dark, Embracing Life, Embracing Love – her poems ring with an acute awareness of the world’s beauty and its brokenness.
From intimate moments in nature to the great sweep of history and current events, Keating’s lyrical voice finds hope, tenderness and resilience in the spaces where light filters through the cracks.
Colleen Keating has published eight books of poetry including the best-selling Hildegard of Bingen: A Poetic journey (Ginninderra Press 2019)
She has won numerous awards, and her poems have been published both nationally and internationally. Her writing explores the paradox and wonder of nature, the realities of life, equality, justice and the increasing threat to our natural environment.
Colleen writes on Ku-ring-gai land in Sydney and Darkinjung land on the Central Coast.
