Bathurst reading

The Ecca poets as they appeared in Bathurst on 28 October 2012. It is quite a feat to assemble 6 poets for a reading in a small town in the Eastern Cape just after many a road has been washed away by the recent floods. It was also the first time that our newest member Silke Heiss (far right) read with us (at the Jane Wiles gallery in Bathurst). We all agreed that it was the best reading the group has had. We read mostly new work that'll be published in December in our newest collection of poetry. (in the photo from left: Lara Kirsten, Quentin Hogge, Brian Walter, Cathal Lagan, Norman Morrissey, Silke Heiss (unfortunately our two other poets, Mzi Mahola and Mariss Stevens could not make it to this reading).
