Whats On

Perth Poetry Club this Saturday 16th April has wonderful poets William Huang & Jo Giles + open-mike, via ZOOM and at THE MOON CAFÉ.

William Huang is a writer living in Boorloo/Perth.  He is fascinated by how physical spaces can be conduits for imagination, enjoys the process of creative exploration and is prone to daydreams.  Themes such as memory, understanding and communication emerge in his poetry, which frequently draw on distinctive states of mind…

Perth Poetry Club this Saturday 2nd April has had to cancel wonderful poet Yvonne Patterson’s feature.

We had Ben, sound engineer, get Covid – that was on Sunday.  Elio has had to do a PCR and mini-quarantine for safety sake.  Elio was closest to Ben last Saturday – both were wearing masks.  Technically Elio is not a close contact, but we have erred on the side of caution.  Also we liaised with Yvonne as what to best do from her perspective. 

We will re-schedule Yvonne and we will not meet at the Moon Café this week.

Perth Poetry Club this Saturday 26th March has its quarterly Mega Open-mike event, via ZOOM and at THE MOON CAFÉ.

This is an opportunity for every open-miker to be a feature with 5 minutes (maximum) of performance time.

Best to prepare your performance.  Try something different, experimental.  Edit and refresh your poems.  Hone your performance skills.  Past events have been memorable for the quality of the poetry and performances.

This Saturday 12th March has wonderful poets Elio Novello,  Stephen Cole + open-mike at Perth Poetry Club, VIA ZOOM and at THE MOON CAFÉ.

Elio Novello is a geotechnical engineer by profession.  He fell into poetry when he came across his older brother’s secondary school poetry books whilst still in primary school.  His interest was further developed when in Year 8, a relief English class was taken by History teacher, Charlie Hickey, from California, who proceeded to read Robert Frost poetry all lesson long.
