at the start of Oz Poetry Month, @RedRoomPoetry shared 3 unpublished Dorothy Porter poems. i, like many others, had a very emotional response when reading these works & it made me realise…. i hadn’t read Dorothy’s THE NIGHT PARROT
that’s about to change #bookmail #bookstagram
We’ve put together a list of upcoming opportunities and workshops that you can check out on our Instagram or Facebook!
