POETS and poetry lovers of the Goulburn Valley will have the chance to indulge in the fine art of word craft when the Poets Breakfast returns for a third year, and the 30th Anniversary of the Shepparton Arts Festival.
Goulburn Valley Writers Group will host the morning, offering tantalising morsels of their own poetry over a sumptuous breakfast. Poetry enthusiasts are welcome to share their own creations with an Open Mic session, offering an opportunity to air their words in a friendly environment.

“Writing poetry is primarily a private pursuit, allowing the writer to reflect upon the world around them or to explore their own emotions. Often, our poems lay dormant until we’re ready to share them in a book or read them to others. Our Open Mic will give aspiring poets a chance to share those carefully crafted words with a like-minded audience”, says GV Writers Group President, Suellen Drysdale.
Bookings for the Poets Breakfast are now open with tickets at $37 per head (including breakfast and coffee). The event will run from 8.30am-11.00am on Sunday, March 22 at Bill & Beats, Mooroopna. Places are limited, so early booking is encouraged.
Poets wishing to read at the Open Mic are requested to register on the day but can also indicate interest when booking. Time limits will apply.
