We invite you to join our Multilingual Poetry Reading/Listening Circle. On one Friday every month, from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m., we explore our resident artist's exhibit together. Then, we settle down to read or listen to poetry together. Please bring a poem to share/read in whatever language you like. Or, just come to listen. All welcome.

In February, we focus on profiling our books of poetry, fiction, non-fiction and selected works of craft that we offer for sale throughout the year via our retail function. We’re also delighted to be showing the beautiful poetry chapbook, ‘an ordinary cup of tea’, by local artist Dean Mundey. Come in and explore.

Press the ‘JOIN THE GUEST LIST’ button below to RSVP. You can also choose a refreshment in advance if you wish. Proceeds go towards supporting our work.
