Join us for a tall glass of plonk and escape the winter blues with a showcase of celebrated poets reading their most recent works. From stanza to slam to sonnet, you’ll be transported through the rambunctious and politically charged world of contemporary Australian poetry.
Tim Loveday is a beautiful poet with important things to say! His work explores class, masculinity, online radicalisation and rural communities reckoning with climate change. His poetry and prose has appeared both in Australia and internationally. And we have him as a guest On the Couch this Sunday April 12th. Hope you can join us. 💜 Booking link in bio. #poetrymelbourne #liveart #whatsonmelbourne #conversations #northcotetownhall
Hey friends / enemies, I’m launching my third book of poetry and I would love to have your company on May 13 @capers.thornbury 🍊 I’ll say more about the book in coming posts, but for now I couldn’t be more excited (or terrified) to share this work - the fruit of four years’ labour- with you all.
To top it off, two of my favourite poets / people will be reading with me, @timloveday_ & @eartha_davis_
Thanks @recentworkpress for making it happen

Dog-tail-wagging delighted to have a new poem out with Tell Me Like You Mean It volume 8, a collaborative publication between @corditepublishing and @australian_poetry
Huge thanks to editor @roguedyke for comissioning this poem!
This poem is about Dog Act(or)s (trust them or don’t, who is to say?) and all the ways the capital ‘I’ institution makes us perform and reform ourselves.
Especially delighted to be among so many brilliant poets including @xiaole.zhan@troyghw@solaceinsunlight@keithyjoel@eartha_davis_ and @whoisbeauwindon
Read it or weep (but also, probably, read it AND weep)

@islandmagtas 177 is out and I couldn’t be more delighted. This edition features the winner and runners up of the Gwen Harwood Prize, which I had the absolute honour of getting to judge this year alongside Kate Middleton and Graeme Miles. And did we hit the jackpot or what!
Huge congrats once again to @felicity_plunkett whose winning poem ‘Leaves’ breaks my heart anew every time I read it. And to runners up @genevieve__osborne and @svetlanasterlin — whose poems are striking, unsettling, daring in their turns, and damn clever each in their own right.
Go and grab a copy of Island 177 ASAP. You’ll be treated not only to these poems but many others, all of which are exceptional. Works by poets such as @packetofchips@feel_thelovegeneration@emiliecollyer@caitlinmaling@troyghw@sheymarque.poet@alishalouisebrown@rico_craig
Enjoy!
New short story out in @overlandlitmag #259. This edition is bigger (literally) and better than ever. Thanks to the team for making this happen — this edition is crammed full of compelling work.
