Australian
Poetry Ltd Cafe Poet Program – 2013
Do you write poetry? Someone who loves the culture of cafes and
coffee?
Flora Smith is currently
a Café Poet at the Old Bakery on 8th Gallery and Café, at 42 Eighth Ave.
Maylands from 10am to midday on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Flora writes, ‘I
get to talk to people about poetry, I meet interesting people and do curious
things like wrap poetry around sugar containers, and best of all, my friends
come for lunch when I knock off at midday and we have lunch in the secret
garden out the back. Please come and see me and perhaps bring a poem for us to
pore over, or paw over.’
The Cafe Poet
Program places poets in cafes as ‘poets in residence’ for a six month
period. Poets are given space to write and given complimentary tea and/or
coffee and have access to a dedicated Facebook page to get connected with other
poets in the program. For details check out Australian Poetry.
