Australian Poetry’s Cafe Poet Program

Post by manfredvijars » Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:39 pm

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -------------------------------------------------------------

To Whom It May Concern,

Are you a writer? A poet? Someone who loves the culture of Cafes and coffee?

Australian Poetry’s Cafe Poet Program is a way to combine all of these passions and we are on the hunt for the next group of Cafe Poets in Australia.

What is the Cafe Poet Program? The Cafe Poet Program places poets in cafes as ‘poets in residence’ for a six-month period. The poet is given space to write and given complimentary tea and/or coffee and in return the cafe gets to be part of this community, receives promotion and the opportunity to plan events with the poet enriching the cultural life of the cafe.
The program began in February 2009 and has been a huge success, placing more than forty poets in cafes all over the country and receiving extensive media coverage including The Age, Sydney Morning Herald and MX.

Our next Cafe Poet submission deadline is 31 October.

To apply please visit: http://www.australianpoetry.org/cafe-poet-program/

Please release attached: with details
