Event Description

Vishvarupa to be launched by Judith Beveridge at the Friend in Hand in Glebe.

Of Vishvarūpa Chris Wallace-Crabbe writes: 'Can there be any Australian poet who has entered with such lyrical depth into the intermingling voices of Australia and India? Our literature is immediately changed by Vishvarūpa?' While according to Judith Beveridge, 'Cahill spans the distance between myth and reality, Australia and India with an ardent intelligence. In beautifully polished, elegant language these poems romp and sing, and they also surprise with moments of subtle tenderness.'
