Saturday 28th September, “In this body are gardens…” women’s writing circle!

This Saturday 28th September we have “In this body are gardens…” women’s writing circle at Perth Poetry Club + open-mike.

"in this body are gardens" is a weekly women's writing circle that has gathered around Jaya Penelope's kitchen table for four years.

Participants have ranged in age from 19 to 79.

Chai; laughter and sometimes tears are as essential a part of proceedings as poetry.

Noted poet, Jaya Penelope is convenor of the group.

This Saturday 21th September we have our third Mega Open-Mike event for the year.
