Saturday 14th of October, Toby Marks and Cam Knight!

This Saturday, it’s Toby Marks and Cam Knight as our features, 14th October 2017 at Perth Poetry Club.

Toby Marks is one of Australia's leading forgotten poets.  Unknown even to his peers and kin.  He lacks all recognition in Australian Literature.  His poetry, although not academic, tries to dip into the hermetic currents of an ocean lost in a world we can only perceive once standing on the edge of the abyss.  Sometimes strikingly shit and sometimes passable, his poetry has been blowing away since 2013.
