A magician wordsmith at the height of her powers, Karen Knight is fearless in her image-making. – Anne Kellas
When I first encountered Jules Witek’s photographs, I was immediately struck by their unique beauty, composition and tonal brilliance. – Giles Hugo

Join us at Fullers Bookshop on Tuesday November 22nd at 5:30pm for an evening celebrating the physical and imaginative landscape of the stunning Tasman Peninsula, through a magical pas de deux of words and images by two of Tasmania’s leading artists.


Karen Knight has been widely published and anthologised since the 1960’s. The author of several poetry collections and chapbooks, she won the 2011 University of Tasmania Prize for her moving collection, Postcards from the Asylum.

Jules Witek is a musician and photographer whose work has appeared in solo exhibitions at the Pear Shed Gallery, and in numerous publications, calendars and social media posts.  


At First Glance is a joyous hymn to nature, in poetry and pictures, celebrating the people, places, animals and landscapes that make southern Tasmania so breath-takingly stunning and unique. 

Karen and Jules will be joined in conversation by Rachel Edwards, producer and content maker with ABC Hobart.

To join Karen, Jules and Rachel at Fullers Bookshop, please CLICK HERE to purchase tickets.
