That Poetry Thing that is on at Smith’s Every Monday

It was a long drive from Newcastle to Canberra and back again the next morning, but worth every mile to be able to perform with this great bunch of talented poets at the iconic Smith’s Alternative  including my co-feature Daniel Ionita, and an open mic featuring the who’s who of Canberra’s thriving poetry scene like Lizz Murphy, PS Cottier (current poetry editor of the Canberra Times), Jacqui Malins, Martin Dolan, Gemma Nethercote Way, Andrew Moss, and Philip Norton to name just a few all beautifully managed by sparkling MC Sarah St Vincent Welch. What an honour.
