Readings, poetry performances and author talks
Are you tired of poets and writers who speak in a monotone, shuffle their papers, mumble into the mike, look mainly at the floor, and prattle on about nothing for five minutes before they start their presentations?
That isn’t me! (The boldface is to show how I’m projecting my voice.) I’m a confident, experienced public speaker and performer. I’ve been presenting poetry live, compering events and facilitating workshops for over 20 years.
I’ve had radio, TV, Zoom, and phone-interview experience and quite a few vocal lessons. As the founder and original convener of Perth Poetry Club, I’m an experienced, entertaining MC. I’m also a trained community educator and group facilitator.
Book me today to delight your audience!
How I entertain and inform
I’d love to delight your guests with classic or recent poetry or my own original poetry, or write you something individual and special.
I have a wide range of material to suit different settings, audiences and age groups.
If you aim to inform as well as entertain, book me for an inspiring talk about writing, poetry, or my own experiences as a writer and editor.
I’m more than happy to take questions from your guests and encourage discussion.
Want to run an open mike or performance workshop for your aspiring writers? Talk to me. I can also get them writing beforehand with a dynamic writing workshop.
Need some spoken word to keep your punters from wandering off between bands? Get in touch.
I’m available online and in person. I have my own transport and would be happy to travel to your venue.
