Congrats to June Perkins on the publication of her collection - 19 poems and 1 story -
Illuminations
Illustrated by Ruha and Miniara Fifita
Published by Gumbootspearlz Press, in paperback
For ages 13+
This poetry and story collection captures the wonder of the act of creation, the burst of excitement associated with the birth of the new, and the challenge and sacrifice involved in bringing inspiration to fruition.
‘Boonah Morning’ has been included in The Red Room Poetry’s ‘In Your Hands’ anthology, to assist poets launching during the pandemic.
Also, June has been commissioned to read for ‘Panacea Poets’ on video for the Queensland Poetry Festival.
Great to see some poetry coming through - congrats again June!
