Melbourne Poets Union (MPU) is a self-funded, incorporated not for profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of poets and poetry.

They host monthly events in different venues around Melbourne and Victoria, run an annual international poetry competition, publish chapbooks, maintain an increasing web presence and are always looking for new opportunities for our members.

And they are coming to Wagga!

To celebrate Finding My Feet - An Anthology of Poetic Voices edited by Dorothy Pouopoulos the MPU is profiling two Wagga poets featured in the book - John 'Mukky' Burke and Marie Clear. The afternoon will feature poetry from the two poets and guest poets from Melbourne and a panel discussion with Dorothy, Mukky and Marie.

“This anthology is such an inspired idea, drawing on the best work of established and published poets through to the new and emerging. So many diverse voices speaking the common language of poetry at its finest!”
