'Words Aloud' Poetry And Spoken Word Session- Featuring - Mary Williamson and Talia Van Horssen.

Event Description

Calling all wordsmiths, poets, spoken word artists, short story, letter, speech and song lyric writers!
Share your words, stories and art with others in the intimate, cosy setting of The Parlour at Miller's Homestead.
These sessions are a place for you to connect and be inspired by other wordsmiths and have a chance to perform your works to a respectful and inclusive audience.

Not a writer but would love to hear the writing of others? Please join us, as an audience member.

Each session will begin with a guest performer and will be followed by an open mic session.

This month's guest are vibrant, creative poets Mary Williamson & Talia Van Horssen.

Mary not only bottle raised a mountain lion, crewed on a tall ship and has been licked by an Echidna, but she has raised three children (and they all survived!). A reflective, and highly visual poet and writer, Mary paints with words and emotions on both the page and the stage and sees poetry as her active recovery from life.

Talia has been weaving words into blades since she was six, slicing through the belly of politeness, spilling the truth of some of the most relatable human experiences, landing her in the 2022 Australian poetry slam finals.

Ages: 15 - 100.
Help yourself to tea and coffee during the session.
Bookings are essential.
