denied a voice

[adelaidesean]

This Thursday I'll be speaking at Adelaide PEN's Denied a Voice event to mark the International Day of the Imprisoned Writer.

Held on the lawn in front of the State Library of SA, North Terrace, Adelaide, it starts at midday and runs until 2.00. See the program available via the above link. Draw-cards include Nicholas Jose, Juan Garrido-Salgado and Nobel Laureate J M Coetzee.

It's not often I get to be political, so I've taken a looong time to write this speech, but I think it's been worth it. The text will be available online via PEN when it's been delivered, for those who can't make it on the day.

Good on you, Sean. (I hope they like your mo, too!)

Thanks! It's a bad time to be trying to look all serious, I must say. Hopefully, with a bit of a trim, the mo will look something approaching sober. :-)
