International PEN is a worldwide association of writers working to promote literacy and free speech. It promotes friendship and intellectual co-operation among writers everywhere, and in fighting for freedom of expression, it represents the conscience of world literature. Adelaide PEN formed to give people the opportunity to work locally on global issues; to fight censorship, support writers in prison and isolated women writers and to contribute to the conservation of literary and cultural heritage.

Program:

• Conversation with a Displaced Writer: Poet Juan Garrido-Salgado, with Writer and Wet Ink Editor Dominique Wilson
• Select Readings from the work of displaced writers and writers in exile (Readings by Writers Heather Taylor-Johnson and Rachel Hennessey)
• The PEN session will be followed by readings by Zuzanna Olszewska and Michelle Cahill
