In October, The Saltbush Review was delighted to co-host the award-winning American poet Hoa Nguyen during her recent visit to Adelaide. Along with special guests Jill Jones, Dominic Guerrera and Travis Lucas, Hoa Nguyen (pictured) read from her most recent poetry collection, A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure (2021) at a special event co-hosted with No Wave Adelaide at the Olivia Hotel.
A huge thank you to Hoa Nguyen, the poets, and audience for taking part in this poetry night.

We have launched our first issue! On the 3rd of November we held a launch night to celebrate Issue 1 being released into the world. A huge thank you to our friends at No Wave Adelaide and The Wheatsheaf for supporting the night, as well as the JM Coetzee Centre for Creative Practice and the English and Creative Writing Department at the University of Adelaide.
Five contributors to the journal, Jane Turner Goldsmith, Camille Rouliere, Stephen Orr, Rachael Mead, and Heather Taylor-Johnson, read their wonderful work to a packed audience. The event was MC’ed by Jane Costessi. We were thrilled at the enthusiasm and support for the journal from the community.
