“Omar Musa writes hard, beautiful poems about things that are true” — Kate Tempest

Join Omar in celebrating his Sydney book launch of "Millefiori." He will do a performance, a short Q&A and a book signing. Also performing poetry will be Sara Mansour and Winnie Dunn.

Sponsored by Young Henrys. Food and drinks on arrival.

A collection of love poems and fierce raps, Millefiori is Omar Musa’s third book of poetry. Both dream-like and gritty, it also includes scans of draft poems in Musa’s notebook. Heartbreak, cocaine, colonial violence, memory and cave paintings: this is a world full of unbearable beauty and brutality.

Omar Musa is a Malaysian-Australian author, rapper and poet from Queanbeyan, Australia. His debut novel Here Come the Dogs was long-listed for the International Dublin Literary Award and the Miles Franklin Award. He was named one of the Sydney Morning Herald’s Young Novelists of the Year in 2015.
