Australian Poetry Ltd is the merger between the Australian Poetry Centre (which was based in Melbourne) and the Poets Union (based in NSW). It is an exciting time for poetry in NSW, and indeed all over the country. The organisation aims to support and promote the existing NSW and Australian poetry community, build new audiences for poetry, develop an international and online presence, as well as targeting regional groups, young people, those from different backgrounds and with varying interests and abilities.

To do this, we have engaged a NSW Director, Leah Greengarten, to run a traditional poetry events program (coming soon) and develop new exciting initiatives such as 'Poems on Pillows' (a partnership between the Sydney Writers Festival and Sebel Pier One Hotel) and secret poetry suppers.

We want to be completely inclusive, so if you have ideas as to how we can build Australian Poetry in NSW, please contact the office. Please join Leah as we launch Australian Poetry in NSW, which will include a special congratulatory message from singer/songwriter Ben Lee.
