ROVING POETRY PERFORMANCE

 

This Saturday March 11 I'll be part of the Indelible Stencil Roving Poetry Performance at Boorowa with local poet Margaret Berry and Yass poet Jane Baker. 

Join us at the Rotary/Dr Kelf Park, Brial Street, Boorowa at 11.30. We will take you on a short river walk to see the three poems installed as public art along there, read poetry to you, then ply you with light refreshments before reading more poetry and inviting others to perform during the open mike session.

This is a Southern Tablelands Arts (STA) and Hilltops Off the Beaten Track (HOBTRACK) art trail event. HOBTRACK is cracking out a whole range of art and cultural events from March 8-22. Full program here.

Margaret, Jane and myself are three of ten poets commissioned to write micro poems for Poetry: The Indelible Stencil a poetry as public art project I instigated a number years ago. It is a partnership between myself, STA and eight Local Governments. Over twenty poems cut into large steel plates have been installed across the STA region — from Queanbeyan right up to Picton. It is still unfolding. You can see the map, poems and authors on the STA website: https://www.southerntablelandsarts.com.au/the-indelible-stencil/

You can meet Margaret briefly online in the latest STA Stories from the Studio here: https://www.southerntablelandsarts.com.au/margaret-berry/ Jane talks about the Yass Valley Writers, a group she has been coordinating for many years: https://www.southerntablelandsarts.com.au/stories-from-the-studio-jane-baker-and-yass-writers-group/ I read from my latest book The Wear of my Face: https://www.southerntablelandsarts.com.au/lizz-murphy/ But come along on Saturday and meet us in person, hopefully along with many others.
