Looking forward to seeing all our supporters from across Australia, and sometimes Europe, for these readings featuring a selection of fine Australian poets and special guests from the UK and Ireland.

Hello everyone, third Monday of the month is Be Fearless Poetry night!

Why call a gig Be Fearless? It's because I want to present performers whose work the audience would otherwise not experience or for them to see more of. To inspire and expose poets to art or poetic performances they haven't seen before.

There will be open mic of course, plus the famous hospitality of Red Betty!

Join us at Capers for the launch of bestselling, award-winning Cypriot-Australian poet Koraly Dimitriadis's fourth poetry collection, That's What They Do. The book will be launched by lawyer/mediator and musician (Suldusk) Emily Highfield, who will play a few acoustic songs in English and Greek, and will then join Koraly in-conversation after Koraly performs a set of her trailblazing poetry before heading overseas. This collection is poetry about emotional and physical abuse and the different ways a person can experience it and overcome it.
