So … the Perth Festival Writers Weekend has come and gone, and you missed some or all of it. But take heart! The poetry party season isn’t over yet.

Next Thursday evening, 14 March 6pm-8pm, you can come along to “Poetry in the Courtyard”, a lively set of readings organised by the admirable Lorraine Horsley at the Bracks Library, Melville.

It will feature three prize-winning WA poets with recently published books: Caitlin Maling, Miriam Wei Wei Lo, and yours truly. There will also be drinks and nibbles, with musical interludes from harpist Ruthie. The event is free but bookings are essential.

I’d be glad to see you there. For venue details etc., here’s a link to the City of Melville publicity: https://www.melvillecity.com.au/things-to-do/events/whats-on/poetry-in-the-courtyard
