How do we make sense of a life well lived? Actor, director and writer Leigh Lawson reflects on more than six decades of life through a deeply personal collection of poetry and stories. Funny, moving and quietly profound, his poems trace a journey from a difficult childhood to a celebrated career, capturing the moments, memories and people that shaped him. Sharing his work, Lawson reveals the remarkable stories behind the poems, exploring memory, resilience, love and the unexpected ways we find meaning in the lives we've lived. There will be a book signing after this event.
