” I’ve come here tonight to The Book Warehouse launch of Eben Venter’s book ‘Wolf Wolf’ at Black Sombrero and I travel an hour and a half to get here. They are such relaxed and friendly events and it gives me a sense of connection to books and book lovers. For the first time I’ve met my gay and lesbian community at a book event rather than a dance party or parade.”
“In just a few hours my time in Lismore reminded me how rich life is. I have friends and acquaintances and I’m part of a gas field free community, a community that believes strongly in womens refuges, and a gay friendly community that loves a good read and celebrates each others success.”
“Today Lismore has been my tonic – it’s given me social, political and cultural medicine. It’s given me community – the very best heart medicine. Thank you Lismore!”
