Saturday 19th September, Young Poets Showcase + open-mike! via Zoom and at the Moon

This Saturday 19th September we have Young Poets Showcase and open-mike at Perth Poetry Club, mc-ed by Veronica Lake and PPC, via ZOOM at the Moon.

2020 has been dire for everyone because of the dreaded Covid.  It has impacted on our lives in many ways.  For Year 12 students who work under enormous pressure in their final year of school, Covid has added an extra dimension of stress.  Nonetheless, the young poets reading out their work today, have still found time to be creative and in this most special of genres.
