Following the success of their Bob Dylan event, Tony and Peter will begin a new course of 5 weeks (and perhaps more), in which the BD song lyrics will be explored!  What is the song all about, do the lyrics constitute poetry, what about the musicality, lyricism, etc, etc. The song-poems of other selected artists will also be considered,  and class members will be invited to lead the group in a discussion of their favourite songs.
  • Thursdays 10.30 - 12.30 in Banksia A
