Poetryspective at Pride of Our Footscray Community Bar

Monday, 2 December 2019 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm

The Pride of Our Footscray Community Bar holds a fortnightly poetry night that is unique for its emphasis on international poets and for encouraging people to read work that is not their own. Started by venue manager Matt O'Keefe and hosted by Lish Skec, the night features a local poet reading their work as well as a featured poet whose work is read by someone else. Matt and Lish joined former featured poet (and playwright) Emilie Collyer to talk poetry, community and the winners of the annual PoetrySlam.
