Please feel free to post your poems here and comment on each other's poetry, or start up a discussion on any aspect of poetry. I just ask you to be diplomatic if commenting on someone's poem. If you don't want comments on your poem, please say so.

WA Poets Inc was set up in 2006 following the success of the inaugural WA Spring Poetry Festival in 2005. It became apparent after that first festival that Western Australian poets wanted an organisation that was dedicated to providing resources and services to poets and poetry.

WA POETS INC AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

- Organise an annual WA Spring Poetry Festival to coincide with National Poetry Week in Australia
- Develop online networks in the form of a web-database of WA poets and WA Poets Inc members
- Develop a resource base in the form of a web-site, including information on readings, competitions, opportunities, etc.
- Explore, and where possible provide, publishing opportunities for WA poets and WA Poets Inc members
- Work towards raising awareness of WA poets and WA Poets Inc members, and poetry nationally and internationally
- Work towards bringing poetry to the public and poets together

By showcasing local, national and international poets, we believe that we can show the public the camaraderie that exists between poets and their work in general.

WA Poets Inc produces the Creatrix Online Poetry and Haiku Journal: http://www.wapoets.net.au/pages/creatrixhomepage.html.

Creative Connections Art and Poetry Exhibitions are supported by WA Poets Inc.
