Venue:Brisbane Lodge

ever wanted to visit ancient babylon?

Intuiting is one of the legitimate theosophical techniques, employed in the past by William Blake, D.G. Rossetti, W.B. Yeats and other Metaphisycal poets. Russian-born poet and translator Vladislav Nekliaev will demonstrate this technique in its practical application by presenting several texts from his award-winning poetry book, “Another Babylon” (2010). “Another Babylon” won the prestigious Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize in 2010 and was published by The University of Queensland Press. A brief theoretical discussion on channelling ancient poetry will be followed by a practical poetry meditation session in which all guests are invited to participate.
