Exiles Bookshop

Exiles Bookshop

Exiles Bookshop was a Sydney bookshop which hosted many poetry readings, and was something of a centre for the local poetry scene in the early 1980's. It was established, at 207 Oxford Street, Taylor Square, by Susumu Hirayanagi and Nicholas Pounder in February 1979, and it closed in late 1982 [Laurie Duggan's diary] . Poetry readings were held there frequently, where local poets such as John Tranter, John Forbes, Laurie Duggan, Martin Johnston, and S. K. Kelen read their work. Poets from other countries, including Hans Magnus Enzensberger [ [http://www.asauthors.org/web_of_poets/Tranter/poems/enzensberger.html John Tranter's poem 'Enzensberger at Exiles Bookshop'] ] , also visited the bookshop. Gary Snyder read there on 17 September 1981 [Laurie Duggan's diary] .
