Poetica Petit will have the Alphabet of Women returning for a retrospective – a night of poetry and conversation in celebration of International Women’s Day and women’s poetry.
The Alphabet of Women (Ginninderra Press, 2022) brings together twenty-six eclectic alliterating poets to tell the story of woman through the sounds and cadences of the alphabet. From rage to tenderness, politics to the body, motherhood to daughterhood, poets were invited to tell it like it is and follow their heart. The anthology, edited by @poetica Miriam Hechtman, is powerful in its diverse expressions of what womanhood means and acknowledges in both subtle and formidable ways how multifaceted and bravely unifying this story is.
11 poets will perform their works on the night, then join Miriam for a panel conversation about where they and the poems are today. This will be a night of reflection, women’s stories and great poetry!
Poets on the night include: @stace.c.m @joannefedlermedia @dai.moret @movingtrains @jessicachapnikkahn @limor.fayena @1annecasey @poet_erica @louisemsteer @mariemcmillan45 @ginette76
Refreshments included for the bargain price of $25
