A social site for poets in Sydney.
Usually when an opportunity crosses our desk we simply post it in the Events section with all the other opportunities for sydneypoetry.com members to go at with hammers and tongs. This one though is too delightfully named, and scoped, to go without better…

In my day job I help businesses with their website strategy – I'm what's called an information architect. That's right, have a good laugh.
Anyway, one of the things I do is keep an eye on website statistics to see how sites are performing. This being a member site I thought it might be of interest to y'all to have a sneaky peak at the monthly…

Cate Kennedy, The Taste of River Water (Scribe 2011)
When Cate Kennedy read, marvellously, from this book at the Sydney Writers' Festival, she talked her poems as meditations through narrative, and that's a nice description. Her poems generally have a narrative thread, whether it's…

2:30: Poems on Pillows
Australian Poetry Ltd, the new 'peak industry body for poetry' (I didn't make that up!) ran a competition in the lead-up to the Festival. People were asked to submit 10-line poems on the theme of Sweet Dreams. Seven poems were selected, printed on postcards and placed on the pillow of every bed in the hotel where Festival guests were staying. At this session the seven winning poems were read to us, six of them by the poets.

Toby D is a young man…

at the place of recovery, the place of discovery,
the place where you will find, the child who is lost in your mind
the place where you can be, the person you've failed to see
so realising it's in…
