Led by poets David Mason and Cally Conan-Davies, open to anyone interested in poetry, this reading group will be more celebration than seminar, a chance to read widely and deeply and talk about how poetry makes meaning in our lives.

Meetings will be held (generally) on the third Wednesday of every month from 5:30 to 7:30 in the Fullers Café unless other arrangements need to be made.

The cost to attend the group is $15 per session. Places are strictly limited. For more information, and to register your interest, contact reading@fullersbookshop.com.au.
