Hello Maxine and a warm (if belated) welcome to Sydney Poetry.

This is a social site built by the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds) for the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds) – and Melbourne too why not!

You can:

• add poetry events, photos and videos to the site,
• add your own poetry in the Member's Poetry section (but just one a day please),
• write blog posts
• start topics in the forum,
• invite poets you know to join,
• comment on just about everything, or
• just keep an eye on what's happening.

Good to see you getting involved already – we'd love to hear more about the Overload Festival. This being a social site the more we all do here the more interesting it becomes for everyone.

While there's no editor deciding what gets published there is just a bit of post facto moderation to keep it clean and on-topic.

I hope you enjoy your time on the site and find it useful.

Best wishes,

Adrian
