Who Comes Calling? begins with an open hand of a poem, its structure mimicking five uncurling fingers numbering off the things which Australia means to the persona, as a girl growing up in Singapore with family in Australia. @singlitstation @wapoets

at the start of Oz Poetry Month, @RedRoomPoetry shared 3 unpublished Dorothy Porter poems. i, like many others, had a very emotional response when reading these works & it made me realise…. i hadn’t read Dorothy’s THE NIGHT PARROT

that’s about to change #bookmail #bookstagram

[Kate Larsen (she/her) @KateLarsenKeys]

@MrBeast If we win we’ll donate the money to the campaign below. Creative Connections exhibit the art of people living with complex needs, many of whom are non-verbal. It’s a worthy cause but CC are nowhere near their donation target. Thanks @MrBeast

wondering if folks can donate to this amazing ACF Campaign by Creative Connections, which pairs artwork by artists who live with complex needs with the poetry of local West Australian poets.
