ANU Poets Lunch

Good News and fun times

I went to the ANU poet's lunch on Wednesday and had a great time listening to good poetry with good food, good wine and good friends. I've been contributing poetry there for the last ten years and the first Wednesday of every December has become a cherished anniversary.

This year's theme was first and last things. Next years theme will be poetic licence - I'm sure I downloaded one of those once, but I can't find it.

The poets lunch has been going since the 1970s and original poets included A D Hope. Anne Edgeworth, Philip Grundy and Geoff Page has been through three different incarnations.

Now about 350 of the poems have been put up on line, thanks to the ANU Emeritus Faculty. David Walker spent many hours populating the website.
