At Pitt Street Poetry we have been watching with increasing dismay the evolving catastrophe at Adelaide Writers Week.

Our thoughts align with those expressed so eloquently yesterday by journalist Peter Greste - we may not always agree with what you say, Dr Abdel-Fattah, but we will vigorously, vigilantly defend your right to say it. Under the trees, in Adelaide.

We’d planned to be there again this year, as we have been so many, many times over the past 30 years or so, to support the publication of *Tomorrow*, a new poetry collection by Peter Goldsworthy. But not now.

At the ArtsHub link you can read the full text of an open letter to the Festival Board signed by many of the luminaries who have put Adelaide's arts and writing on the global map, including Peter Goldsworthy.

We endorse every word.

The open letter to the Board of Adelaide Festival is signed by former Artistic Directors, Chief Executives and General Managers of the Festival.
