On June 13 we are very excited to launch artist and poet Oormila Vijayakrishnan Prahlad’s poetry book Patchwork Fugue at Poetica Petit. We are also delighted to have didgeridoo player Marc Cottee to set the night in motion and take us on a sound journey. Last, but by far not least, we have the grand old open mic PLUS wine and cheese and kombucha. Come bring in the winter with us downstairs in the Cultural Hub. Limited seats so best get booking!
