Confessions of a Minor Poet, author Phil Brown

 Phil Brown tells all (well almost all) in this rollicking account of his career in literature and journalism from The Morning Bulletin in Rockhampton to Melbourne’s Sunday Age and back to The Courier-Mail in Brisbane. He shares his challenges as a young surfer foolishly yearning to be a poet and his personal struggles on the road to becoming a writer with a fluctuating passion for poetry and a top drawer full of rejection slips. There are the seminal friendships with poets Bruce Dawe and Les Murray and a cavalcade of characters from the world of arts and letters – Barry Humphries, Willem Dafoe, Daniel Craig, Alain de Botton, Richard E. Grant and a cavalcade of characters he meets (and interviews) along the way, for better and occasionally, worse. To connect with Phil ... https://www.philbrownwriter.com/ https://www.instagram.com/phil.brown76/ https://transitlounge.com.au/shop/confessions-of-a-minor-poet-a-memoir/ Book Launch (Brisbane,QLD)https://brisbanepowerhouse.org/events/phil-brown-confessions-of-a-minor-poet/
