Gold Coast poet who loves gin & tonic & long beach & rainforest walks. The world needs more poetry less politics, & dolphins should be running the planet.

Delighted that my poetry collection 'Small Epiphanies', published by Calanthe Press, will be launched on 25 August 2024 on Tamborine Mountain.

[David Terelinck @DavidTerelinck]

@damen_o @jane_e_frank A really great launch. Jane's questions were well-considered and insightful about poet and poetic process. And what a wonderful launch speech; one of the best I have heard. I enjoyed all the poems you read from 'walking the boundary.' I hope the collection is a great success.

[David Terelinck @DavidTerelinck]

@damen_o Very much looking forward to the launch and the Q&A with Jane, and catching up afterwards.

[David Terelinck @DavidTerelinck]
