Yarra Valley Spoken Word Friday 9th May 2025 Feature Poet Paul Whitby...

Hi fellow Poetry Lovers!

Our May Feature Poet is a wonderful chap, Paul Whitby, who we met at our Annual January Holiday Road Trip the previous year when we went to Cherry Tree Poets in Cremorne.
We have since seen him again at this year’s road trip to The Motley OpenHaus in Carlton and he has visited us several times up here in the Valley.
Paul Whitby is a casual animal rescuer and poet. His writing has been published in a variety of literary journals, including Cordite, The Lifted Brow, and Award Winning Australian Writing. He is the 2020 winner of the Ipswich Poetry Prize, and won the Wyndham Writing Awards the following year. Previously a house sitter, Paul now lives in Yarrambat.
We always enjoy his quirky take on life and invite you to enjoy it with us…

See you on Friday 9th May 2025, 6-9pm.
in The Dreaming Space Dome
at Yarra Valley ECOSS - 711 Old Warburton Hwy, Wesburn.
