Perth Poetry Club would be pointless and impossible without the support of our many beloved regular and irregular punters, poets and photographers, particularly:

Allan Boyd, who built and maintains our website and designs our visuals,

Jamie Macqueen who often helps out by filming, photographing, YouTubing and LiveStreaming,

all those who help others to participate, our various guest MCs, and

the management and staff of The Moon Cafe, who provide space, time, service, sound equipment & arty awesomeness.

Thanks to the generosity of our audiences we are able to pay our featured poets and provide the professional sound engineering of Ben Hoare.

Anyone can be part of the fun: come to our Saturday afternoon readings. Just listen, or share poems. Every Saturday at The Moon. Don't pinch yourself: you're not dreaming, and you're still in Western Australia -- it really is weekly.
