WA Poets Inc. has a new and exciting Festival team.
All members bring together their creative skills, love of the arts and many, their arts administration experience.
The Festival team is dedicated and enthusiastic, wishing to build on the success of past festivals and to maintain current ties with Western Australia arts and government infrastructure.
As administrators with new ideas, scope and vision, WA Poets Inc. is working towards a successful 2008 3 day Spring Poetry Festival.
