ABOUT THE GULL CLUB
Jaq Tweedie was dubbed The Diva Of Darkness by her fellow comedians, until novelist Chad Taylor remarked, “We know you’re funny. What else have you got?” This is what else.
The Gull Club is a collection of brief, twisted, sinister and insightful poems about the fever dream of urban life.
Tweedie’s first book will be launched by publishers Dunbar Noon on Wednesday 3rd December 2014 at 6pm at The Station Bar in Beresford Street (off Pitt St), MC’d by Te Radar.
This limited edition (150 copies) book of poems will be for sale at the launch, with the author on hand to sign them.
What else? Oh yes, it’s funny too.
