“I like to see the words as objects separate from their meaning, sitting up out of the sentence, and so I try to manipulate this in the swift action of writing.”

“A book is a script, a score. As we build its world in our imagination, we imagine ourselves into existence. But a writer’s spoken word, uttered right there before you, is a unique music that exists only until the vibrations die on the wind. Don’t take such experiences for granted.” - It's nearly that time of year again... Perth Writers Week as part of @perthfest! This year's program is looking like it's going to be one of the best, featuring both Australian and international writers (Ben Okri, Benjamin Law, Heather Morris, Trent Dalton and Sisonke Msimang... to name a few!). If that hasn't convinced you yet, jump on our Facebook page to read our interview with curator William Yeoman. We'll also be presenting four events in partnership with the festival. Jump on their website to RSVP #centreforstories #perthfestival #perthwritersweek #whatsonperth #perthisok #perthsbest

“I like to see the words as objects separate from their meaning, sitting up out of the sentence, and so I try to manipulate this in the swift action of writing.” - The latest interview in our Between the Lines series comes from poet, artist and musician, Luke Beesley. His latest release 'Aqua Spinach' rounds out a trilogy of books interested in the affinities between poetry and the visual arts, music and cinema. The poems invoke a playful synaesthesia as they pivot and twist, producing strange and at times absurdist imagery from the ordinary and happenstance.

'There’s lots of really great people and I think we’re very, very fortunate to be living in this country and we’re very fortunate to be where we are at the moment.' - We’re always on the hunt for a good story, and what better place to look than in our own neighbourhood. We had a chat with Ali from French Resistance, a patisserie in Northbridge. Read on from our website! #centreforstories
