Tasmania’s statewide arts festival, Ten Days on the Island 2025 program. Ailsa Piper (a self-confessed poetry glutton) also offers her WordWalk, an immersive ‘pilgrimage’ that encourages you to listen, look and create, inspired by the natural world.
These two hours will bring together insights from all three of Ailsa’s published works; her first book was about walking a Spanish camino, and her second was a collection of letters, celebrating an unlikely friendship. Guided by Ailsa, you are invited to pause and reflect on place, to ‘travel’ on ground that may be familiar or new.
Marvel at the poetry and music of the word and the wild and consider what it is to travel away from the familiar, and toward the self. You will have the opportunity to make notes, poems, postcards, even letters, inspired by your observations and presence in the landscape – bring a pad and pencil.
‘The best thing I’ve done for a long time. It was a masterclass in stillness, writing and being.’
WORDWALK PARTICIPANT
We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement. As a destination that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors, Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
