The launch of Ordinary Euphoria

Ordinary Euphoria, poems by David Moody was presented at a recent launch at Murdoch University's Nexus Theatre by Assoc. Prof. Jenny De Reuk. The book is a delightful collection of poems by David and artworks by Judith Price. It is available for purchase online direct from publisher Crotchet Quaver and also Amazon and Book Depository, Blackwells, as well as good bookstores. The following is taken from Jenny's presentation.

When David asked me to launch this collection of his I was deeply touched. We’ve shared a great deal in our years at Murdoch in the Literature and Theatre Programs—highs as well as lows—but I was genuinely surprised to discover that this book of his was a collection of poems and not a novel or a play.

I knew him as a gifted dramatist and a writer (not to mention those other attributes for which he has become famous: actor, director, adaptor; lecturer, critic and stand-up comedian among others) but that he had embraced that most arcane and difficult of contemporary literary forms and done so with such lyricism and emotional integrity has been a revelation.
