Event Description

Sydney Poetry at the Brett Whiteley Studio present the third Sydney Bookers Poetry Picnic in celebration of poetry and the regular readings held throughout the year in Sydney.

Those that book poets and coordinate events will come together in representation of their event and in celebration of the art form. These event managers ensure poets are supported within their communities to present their work.  From the more established events such as the long-standing Live Poets Society at Don Bank Cottage which in 2015 will have been running for 25 years, Sydney Poetry Readings at the Brett Whiteley Studio has been operating for 15 years, through to the emerging, performative and the competitive such as the Australian Poetry Slam organised by Word Travels, to the underground word-gypsies, of Caravan Slam.

The poetry picnic will feature the coordinators of the various reading and performance events held in Sydney.  The initiative seeks to recognise the significance of these poetry events in forging poetry communities and developing support of the art form.


The family event will also have an open read section for poets wanting to participate.  Located in the historic park reserves of the Paddington Reservoir Gardens, known for its contemporary urban design, stone work and sunken in gardens, the setting is a befitting endorsement of the vibrant and diverse poetry that happens every week in Sydney.
