Perth City Library celebrated Poetry Week 2014 with a series of free events for poetry lovers in the first week of September. The final event was a poetry reading hosted by poet Kevin Gillam in the foyer of the City Library on Friday 5 September from 12.00 noon – 2.00 pm.

Andrew was one of three poets invited to read. The other two were Anna Dunnill and Connor Weightman. Other poets in the audience read during the open mic segments.

Andrew read several poems from each of his last three books, The Colour of Life (in Two Poets, Fremantle Press, 2011), Gestures of Love (Wombat Books, 2013) and Inadvertent Things (Walleah Press, 2013).
