Sunday, March 8
at 2:00pm – 5:00pm

42 Albert St, Footscray, Victoria, Australia

Located in the gallery room of the iconic Dancing Dog café, 5 minutes from Footscray station, West Word poetry events happen every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month at 2pm, with a different feature poet at every session.

For this session, March 8th, the feature is Angela Costi.

Angela Costi is the author of four collections of poetry: Dinted Halos (Hit & Miss Publications, 2003), Prayers for the Wicked (Floodtide Audio, 2005), Honey and Salt (Five Islands Press, 2007) and Lost in Mid-verse (Owl Publications 2014). In 2009 she received funding from the Australia Council for the Arts to travel to Japan and work on an international collaboration involving her poetry and the Japan-based Stringraphy Ensemble. This culminated in the performance text: A Nest of Cinnamon, which has been published together with accompanying essays by Cordite Poetry Review (issues Custom Made Sep 2009, Transpacific Feb 2013). Both her parents migrated from Cyprus and she grew up in Riverwood, Sydney and then moved to Lalor, Victoria.

West Word Poetry also has an Open Stage section where anyone can read their poetry (5mins time limit).

So feel free to come along and read your poetry, or just listen, and enjoy a few drinks or nibbles while you’re there.
