“OI” let loose upon an unsuspecting Melbourne public

The first reports streaming back from last Saturday's Melbourne launch of both COD and “OI” suggest the event was a great success, with poetry lovers cramming the Collected Works bookstore to see tom see read (and sing) his work.

In addition, illustrator Charles Lake was present to guide the book to its launching place, thus achieving an apt symmetry between this launch and last week's in Sydney.

Cordite media editor Glenn “KB” Irwin was also on hand to take snaps of the eager crowd. We'll get those to you just as soon as time permits.

We've now expanded the number of bookshops stocking “OI”.

In the meanwhile, spread the word, susbcribe to our email alert service or simply sit back and wait for the next nibble from COD. You never know, this time we may just bite.
