Tasmania, Victoria (Melbourne & Castlemaine) & NSW on her holiday tour of Australia. Join us for an evening of great poetry - 20 min reading followed by the popular QnA, involving the audience, concluding with her encore.
Liz Lefroy won the 2011 Roy Fisher Prize endowed by then UK Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, resulting in the publication of her first pamphlet, Pretending the Weather. Three further pamphlets followed – The Gathering (2012), Mending The Ordinary (2014) and GREAT MASTER/small boy (2021). Her poetry has featured in many UK magazines and anthologies.
In 2016, Liz was selected to read on the Shore-to-Shore tour in support of independent UK bookshops, appearing on stage alongside Carol Ann Duffy, Gillian Clarke, Imtiaz Dharker, and Jackie Kay. Now living in Shrewsbury, England, Liz hosts a popular monthly poetry event which hosts both an open mic and featured readers. She’s been pleased to feature Australian poet Ross Donlon.
In September 2023, Liz made her editorial debut with Festival in a Book, featuring over 100 voices from the former Wenlock Poetry Festival, including many of the UK’s foremost contemporary poets.
