Book Launch

Small Change Press is excited to launch it's first title for 2009, Dear Rose by the winner of the inaugural 'Dream Aint Broken Chapbook Competition,' Nicola Scholes. The poems in her debut collection are brimming with inventiveness and moments of illumination.

In 2007, Nicola also won the inaugural Love Poetry Hate Racism open mic competition. Aside from winning inaugural things, Nicola has had her poems published in magazines such as The Broadkill Review (USA), Cordite Poetry Review, The Courier-Mail, dotlit, Hecate, holland1945, Nineteen-O-Splash (NZ), SpeedPoets, and Stylus Poetry Journal. Nicola has also been involved in Brisbane community theatre for more than ten years. She has performed in plays with Villanova Players, and St. Luke's Theatre Society. She is currently studying a PhD on representations of the maternal in Allen Ginsberg’s poetry, at the University of Queensland.

As part of this live launch experience, Nicola will be reading from Dear Rose, alongside one of Melbourne's true spoken word innovators, Santo Cazzati and the sonic beauty of Bremen Town Musician.
