Article on website and forum

[mummsie]

One of the things that impresses me as a newcomer[I still consider myself new as it's only eight months since I wrote my first ever poem]is the opportunity to ask questions about anything you can't get your head around and someone will either answer it or guide you in the right direction to source information. I love the diversity of the poetry here. Everyone has their own style, and just by reading you learn so much. But the most important thing for me is the knowledge that if you live in an area where there is little contact with bush poets [as I do] this forum goes a long way towards closing the gap. Help and contacts are always close at hand. If your looking for information on upcoming events in your area, this is the place to find it. But the most important thing on offer here is friendship, just take that first step, you wont look back.

I think you just pipped me as I posted this Heather.

For myself, living in a far flung neck of the woods (Cape York Peninsula) the ABPA web forum has been fantastic as an ideal conduit to the rich vein of bush poetry know-how that it provides. Through no other avenue could I imagine having instant access to such a wealth of knowledge. There is also great comraderie, and genuine respect amongst all forum users.

Should have told them to say Heather sent me. Think of all the commission.

Excellent article Heather and I hope it can be printed in the ABPA magazine as I am sure it would encourage more members to participate in this web site.
