POETS from around the Goulburn Valley will gather for a feast of words at the Poets Breakfast on Sunday, April 6. As part of the 2025 SheppARTon Festival, the event will showcase poetry from members of the GV Writers Group over a mouth-watering breakfast at Bill & Beats in Mooroopna.
Following a successful event last year, this year the group invites local poets to join in for its Open Mic Poetry Session.
“Writing poetry is a creative pursuit using ideas and observations then finding impactful ways to express them. Our Open Mic will give aspiring poets a chance to share those carefully crafted words with an audience”, said GV Writers Group President, Suellen Drysdale.
While some people love to dabble with poetry at times of reflection in their lives, others are prolific in the craft, using their imagination and study of life around them. Yet others simply enjoy listening to the music of words offered in poetry.
Poets wishing to read at the Open Mic are requested to submit their work for selection to the GV Writers Group after booking their tickets, to: gvwritersgroup@gmail.com Time limits will apply.
Bookings for the Poets Breakfast are now open with tickets at $35 a head (including breakfast). The event will run from 8.30am-11.00am on Sunday, April 6. Places are limited so early booking is encouraged.
