Perth Poetry Club this Saturday 6th December, 2pm-4pm hosts
the 2025 Brushstrokes VI anthology launch + open-mike
at The Moon Café, 323 William Street Northbridge and on ZOOM.
Join us for a poetic celebration at the Perth Poetry Club!
On Saturday, 6th December, WA Poets are thrilled to launch Brushstrokes VI, the fresh-off-the-press anthology from the 2025 Ros Spencer Poetry Contest. The anthology features prize-winning and selected works handpicked by this year’s judge, Kevin Gillam.
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 mike! The launch will run within the normal Perth Poetry Club gig with regular open-mike as well.
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 to raise a toast to poetry, share a verse, and celebrate Ros’s legacy together. Don’t miss it…
