One Year Anniversary
The Poetry and Poetics Centre has proudly announced its One Year Anniversary.
The Centre was launched on 29 November 2006, and since that
time it has hosted the first Poetry and Poetics Symposium, the 2007 Max
Harris Poetry Award, two poetry masterclasses with Melbourne poets Judith Rodriguez and Chris Andrews, and has also expanded the Poetry and Poetics Centre website, which features poems, interviews and book reviews.
The Poetry and Poetics Centre committee intends to build on these accomplishments in the future. We welcome any thoughts and suggestions to help us plan further activities.
