AUCKLAND, NZ – Former Tasmanian IVY ALVAREZ reads from her book Disturbance at Launceston’s Tasmanian Poetry Festival (2-4 October 2015).
Disturbance tells the story of a man who kills his wife, son, and then himself, leaving the daughter as a sole survivor of this crime.
“I’ve seen people in tears at these readings,” said Ms Alvarez.
“The subject matter can be very triggering.”
Ms Alvarez also delivers Poems that Pack Punch, a Poetry Masterclass, as part of the Festival.
Writer Meryl Stenhouse called the Masterclass “a delightful and stimulating three-hour workshop”.
