We're currently planning and organising a promotional book tour for Jennifer Liston's second poetry collection, 17 poems: one for every year of innocence.

We hope that this will take place towards the end of the northern hemispheric summer: July, August, or September. Or maybe even October.

The author will travel to Ireland and read from and sign copies of her book at a few locations.

Stay tuned ... more information will be posted here as plans are confirmed.

The December edition of monthly e-newsletter Blarney Bulletin included a news item on the launch of 17 poems: one for every year of innocence.

Many thanks to Kevin 'Blarney' McCarthy and the team at Blarney Bulletin for their support.

Many who attended the very successful launch yesterday of 17 poems: one for every year of innocence bought several copies of the book as gifts for family and friends in Australia and overseas.

Many also took the chance to buy copies of Exposure, Jennifer Liston's first poetry collection.

Guests were particularly excited about the bonus audio CD of the poet reading her poems.

And of course Jennifer was available to sign and personalise the copies.

The Hon. Michael Atkinson, MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Multicultural Affairs, launched Irish poet Jennifer Liston’s second poetry collection in the SA Writers’ Centre, Adelaide on Thursday 4 December 2008.

Each edition includes an audio/mp3 CD of the poet reading the 17 poems. The CD also contains bonus readings of two poems from the poet’s first collection, Exposure (2003).

Only 150 imprints of 17 poems: one for every year of innocence have been created.

Jennifer Liston is a well-known poet and writer. One of her poems was featured in the anthology Poems in Perspex, Max Harris Poetry Award 2007.
