    And we’re back. Join us for the workshop that uses poems as prompts to get you writing your own. We listen. We write. We listen. We write. And we don’t do feedback. Just lots of writing. We are ever so excited to welcome Rhonda Cowell @after.thecredits to feature at Poetica on November 12. Rhonda has had a very busy year in the poetry scene and at home. She’s just given birth to her second child so we might have a special little guest on the night too. This double album was a revelation to me. When I was 18 a friend introduced me to The White Album. In full. I didn’t know you could write songs like Rocky Racoon. That they could be part of the story of an album. The Beatles could do anything. We can’t wait to hear new songs by @miriamlieb this Thursday night at Poetica Petit at @woollahragallery . Join us for a night of songwriting secrets as we unpack the art of writing lyrics with Miriam and @huckhastings . PLUS the open mic awaits your own readings of songs you love. Let’s hear them spoken. What’s in a lyric? How do you go from words to music? What makes a song? Yep. @kylieminogue knows all about it. The power of reading lyrics out loud. For an audience. So …. For our brand new LYRICS NIGHT we want you to read your favourite lyrics in the open mic at our next Poetica Petit on Oct 15 at @woollahragallery . Happy 9th birthday POETICA 🎋 What’s in a lyric? How do you go from words to music? What makes a song? “You work on your songs, but your songs also work on you... slowly you start to become some place that songs are passing through.” Tom Waits
