WA Bush Poets and Yarn Spinners Traditional Night
Poets From the Past
"I Love a Sunburnt Country!" So wrote Dorothea MacKeller almost exactly 100 years ago. These words, like those of many other poets of that era live on as part of our rich literary heritage. The WA Bush Poets aims are to preserve and present the rhyming poems of that time along with the works of our many talented contemporary rhyming poets.
On Friday September 5th, in the Auditorium at Bentley Park Retirement Village (formerly Swan Cottages), 26 Plantation Drive, Bentley 6102, the WA Bush Poets Assn will present their annual "Traditional Night" which will feature only the works of poets of times past.
The evening (commencing at 7.30pm) will consist of two parts, the first being "Impressions of Australia", a narrative joining together poems of an earlier time which express the varying views that those early poets had of our country, its people and it's spirit. You will hear works of many well known poets including Banjo Paterson, Henry Lawson, C J Dennis and Dorothea Mackeller along with some from lesser known bards.
Following this presentation, supper will be available after which, performing members of the WA Bush Poets will present some of their favourite poems of those golden years of Bush Poetry.
So why not come along to this unique evening of wonderful entertainment. The cost is just $7, there is a door prize and supper will be available for $1. You will also have the opportunity to purchase various poetic products by WA Bush Poets members, these include books, laminated Poems and CDs
