Join us on Tuesday November 11th at Bard's Apothecary for a conversation between author Antonia Pont and The Paperback's Anna MacDonald.
Antonia will be speaking about her recent book, 'Plain Life: On thinking, feeling and deciding'.
Antonia Pont is a long-time practitioner of writing, thinking, moving and stillness. She founded Vijnana Yoga Australia in 2009 and alongside a practice of philosophy and creative research, she queries questions of time, capacity, ethics, wanting, bodily and psychic stability, sustainable states and non-violent transformations. She tests, in her creative and scholarly works, the necessity of space and patience for any kind of non-programmed future and ways to think and live beyond ultimatums and reactivities. A teacher and supervisor in Writing, Literature and Culture at Deakin University, she is author of The Memory Library (fiction), You Will Not Know in Advance What Youโll Feel (poetry), A Philosophy of Practising (philosophy), and the recent Plain Life: on thinking, feeling and deciding. Her essays have an international following and can be found in Overland, Literary Hub. She lives, works and rests on unceded Wurundjeri lands.
Anna MacDonald is a writer and bookseller at The Paperback Bookshop.
