I've gotten a bit behind with the welcome notes, but it looks like you've already found your way around.
This is a social site built by the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds) for the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds).
You can:
- add poetry events, photos and videos to the site,
- write blog posts, or start topics in the forum,
- add your own poetry to the site in the Member's Poetry section,
- invite poets (and teachers, readers, writers, performers) you know to join,
- comment on just about everything, or
- just keep an eye on what's happening.
This being a social site the more we all do here the more interesting it becomes for everyone.There's no membership fee and no middlewoman – there is though just a bit of moderation to keep it clean and on-topic.
It's great to see you're already getting involved with the discussions & I hope you continue to enjoy the site.
Best wishes,
Adrian
