The launch will showcase poets included in the anthology, so if you’re one of them, consider this your invitation to join us and read your poem during open mic! The launch will run within the normal Perth Poetry Club gig with regular open-mike as well.
Expect readings from Gillian Clark MC, Rose Van Son, Coral Carter, Glen Hunting (Zoom), Tineke Van Der Eecken, Alan Padgett (TBC), Glen Philips (TBC)
Supported by Geoff Spencer and family, the Ros Spencer Poetry Contest honours Ros’s courage, character, and passion for poetry. Her spirit lives on in the beautiful words:
“Like a leaf falling from a tree, She just let go …
And the Sun and the Moon shone forever” — Rev. Safire Rose
Come to Moon Café, 323 William Street, Northbridge from 2pm-4pm to raise a toast to poetry, share a verse, and celebrate Ros’s legacy together.
Please join us to celebrate poetry from the backroom and on Zoom,
this Saturday, 16th November 2024, 2pm to 4pm Perth Aus WST (GMT+8hrs).
