Hi Everyone, There are four days left until our official launch at the Perth Poetry Club. I want to take a moment to thank the various poetry groups who have been sharing the link to their members, the event manager at PPC, the various people who have helped out with setting up the webpages, and the 330 individual visitors who have visited the site in the last couple of days! Your support is amazing. Please remember to subscribe :)  PPC Newsetter advertising the launch.

 We are pleased that WA Poets have advertised our launch in their weekly newsletter. Thanks for much! You will notice that there is also a comment about the 3rd Annual Poet's Picnic. This is an event Wendy Beach has organised for the last three years in conjunction with Mar Bucknell's regular poemambulisms through the city. This one should be a lovely day walking through Highgate, and then picnicking in Hyde Park.
