A group exhibition that celebrates the elemental poetics of clay
09 May - 15 Jun
Join us for the launch of local author Steve Tolbert's new novella Nowhere Man and the Roadkill Lady. Steve will be joined in conversation by Associate Professor Pam Allen from UTAS.
Nowhere Man and the Roadkill Lady is a tender, funny and moving story of how a love for wild things can heal the wildness of the human heart.
Donny Taylor, a reclusive Vietnam veteran, lives on Tasmania’s remote west coast. One morning, he spots an elderly woman shovelling something off the road.
Thinking she might be in some difficulty, he stops. What he doesn’t know, is that he is the one who is about to be rescued.
Steve Tolbert is a retired teacher who has called Australia home since moving here in 1969, but he has been in Tasmania long enough to be considered a local. Steve enjoys travelling, especially throughout Asia and his previous books have been inspired by these travels in Myanmar and India. His new novella published by Forty South is set closer to home on the West Coast of Tasmania.
