That Poetry Thing That Is On At Smith’s Every Monday Night is holding its Big Open Mike this coming Monday, May 29. Starts at 7 pm. That Poetry Thing is one of my favourite gigs and I get over to it as often as I can. Hats off to the team of poets who keep this event running week after week with featured poets, open mikes and special theme nights.
I was sorry to miss Mother Tongue last week but made it to the recent Tree Week special organized by Sarah St Vincent Welch, coordinator of the Kindred Trees Project (also a Thing committee member). It featured poets who have written the latest tree poems on the Kindred Trees website and a tree themed open mike. If you love trees, love poems, love tree poems, visit https://kindredtrees.com.au/ There is also beautiful tree photography — occasionally by the poets but mostly by Dylan Jones.
