When I was exploring Northbridge on my very first day in Perth, I wandered past this funky little diner style cafe with its retro 50s booth seats and promised myself I would come back. I mean with a name like The Moon, how could I resist? At the time I hadn't twigged that this was the venue for Saturday afternoon's Perth Poerty Club at which I would be performing.

The Perth Poetry Club is hosted by Elio to a packed room at the back of the building. It's on every Saturday afternoon and always has a zoom component so anyone can join. There were so many people that eighteen of them didn't get a chance to perform on the open mic! Poetry is alive and well inn Perth I tell you!

For this set I read out a poem from each issue of the Pocketry Almanack that I have published - so far there have been seven issues. If you're an emerging poet who hasn't been published in a journal, had on over to Pocketry. Submissions for issue eight will be opening soon.

Those beautiful Almanack poems from unheard voices deserve to be taken out from time to time and shared with the rest of the world and I am more than happy to introduce them to new audiences so they can meet people and make new friends.
