CATHY BRAY

Cathy Bray is a Sydney poet – she will shortly return to the Sydney Fringe Festival for the third year running – this time with her new show 'Inappropriate', a solo show of poetry and merriment. Her shows are known for preambles, rants, smirks and gentle kick-arse asides – poetry brought to life through a series of irrational pet hates, harmless diatribes, puerile platitudes and inappropriate comic conclusions.

"...a fantastic show – so witty, hilariously accurate, fine samples of other people’s bon mots, good slabs of poetry from you, moving snippets about the family, great clarity of vision about America and our Aussie relationship to it." - Anna Kerdijk Nicholson

Cathy has previously had three books released with Picaro Press – The Owl, Poet Tree and Madwoman's Breakfast – Eat my bush.


SKYE LONERAGAN

OPEN MIC
To read your work in the open mic reading, just turn up on the night and put your name on the list. It must be your own work and is time limited to 2mins so we can fit everyone in.


FOOD & WINE
The wine and tapas bar will be open so you can have a meal and glass of wine while you're there if you fancy it. The Soup season at Sappho is in full swing so there will always be a hearty hot homemade soup available.


SO...
Starts at 7.00 pm in the garden at Sappho's wine and Tapas bar. Great food, great poetry! Look forward to seeing you all there.

Come and have some fun, read or just listen -- all poetry is good for the soul. Hope to see you there!
