Tracy Ryan’s latest poetry collection, Hoard, was launched at Melbourne’s iconic Collected Works bookshop on 31 August 2015.

Marion May Campbell delivered a brilliant launch speech, and Tracy, following a hectic schedule that included appearances at the Melbourne Writers Festival with husband and renowned poet John Kinsella, still found energy to read from her work.If you would like to read the text of Marion’s speech, you can find it on the Cordite website.

Andy Jackson’s the thin bridge was eloquently launched by Kevin Brophy at Collected Works on 5 September 2014. Andy read a number of poems from his collection. We had a tremendous turnout.

Here are some images from the night, courtesy of photographer Di Cousens.
