This Saturday 17th November 2018 we have two wonderful poets, Kevin Gillam + Chuckie (Francis Raven) at Perth Poetry Club.
Kevin Gillam is a West Australian born writer, 'cellist and music teacher. He has four books of poetry published; “other gravities” (2003) and “permitted to fall” (2007) both by Sunline Press, “songs sul G” in ‘Two Poets’ (2011) by Fremantle Press, and this year “the moon’s reminder” by Ginninderra Press. He has been the feature poet on ‘Poetica’, had poems published in all Australian journals, and been a guest at the Queensland Poetry Festival (3 times), Tasmanian Poetry Festival, Word Storm in Darwin and Perth Poetry Festival. In February of 2015 he was awarded First Prize in the Sawtooth Writers Awards – Poetry (Tasmania). That year also saw Kevin published in Guide to Sydney Rivers, an e-book by Meuse Press, (view online at: http://meusepress.tripod.com/sydneyrivers.pdf). He is a contributor to Cordite Poetry Review.
Chuckie (Francis Raven) has been writing poems since he was little, which in the grand scheme of things isn't very long. For him writing poetry has always been and will always be about healing and growing. Most of his poems are writings during what he calls the dark ages of his life. He hopes to shed some light on those times. Chuckie featured at Perth Poetry Club in 2014 and was a Perth Poetry Festival poet in 2015.
