Hi Cathy, and welcome to the Sydney Poetry social site. You are member #152.
This is a social site that is built by the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds) for the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds).
You can add your own photos, videos and events. You can write blog posts, or start topics in the forum. You can also add your own poetry to the site in the Member's Poetry section. Or you can just keep an eye on what's happening.
There's no membership fee and no middlewoman – there is though just a bit of moderation to keep it clean and on-topic.
Have a read of the welcome note (if you haven't checked it out already) to find out more. Although the site is just starting up I hope you enjoy what you already find here, and if you do, please feel free to invite other poets (and teachers, readers, writers, performers) you know to join.
Also please introduce yourself, what you write, what you read etc with a few words in the editable text box on your profile page (and, if you're in the mood, add an image for your avatar).
Must say if my brilliance started at 13 it took a long while to manifest itself. As for acral melanoma ... very unusual & most GPs don't see it. the Specialist who cut the flesh of my left heel off is writing a paper about it - s'ppose I'll be 'patient Y'... just when I thought I was going to get into print again! I'm beginning to get about now, without being able to walk long distances, & stairs, like the ones at the Friend in hand, would give me trouble. But I'm alive, & inflicting poems on the world. I was poet in residence at Broken Hill late-mid 2011 for 2 weeks, & was there a year or so ago for a week, & got to know some of the poets in the pub - but when I was there it wasn't operative, & Marvis from the library was having some trouble getting it together at the time. Thank you

Dear Cathy,
Must say if my brilliance started at 13 it took a long while to manifest itself. As for acral melanoma ... very unusual & most GPs don't see it. the Specialist who cut the flesh of my left heel off is writing a paper about it - s'ppose I'll be 'patient Y'... just when I thought I was going to get into print again! I'm beginning to get about now, without being able to walk long distances, & stairs, like the ones at the Friend in hand, would give me trouble. But I'm alive, & inflicting poems on the world. I was poet in residence at Broken Hill late-mid 2011 for 2 weeks, & was there a year or so ago for a week, & got to know some of the poets in the pub - but when I was there it wasn't operative, & Marvis from the library was having some trouble getting it together at the time.
