AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'During the past year, Friendly Street audiences have experienced riotous performance poems, dramatic monologues, a dash of opera, nervous first-timers, sprinklings of comedy, an impassioned reading from the Melbourne poet, Alan Wearne, and much more. Some of this diversity is represented in this reader.' (Publication summary)
