Event details

Poets' Corner at the Effective Living Centre returns this month with guest poet Shaine Melrose.

Shaine is an avid gardener living with chronic illness. Her poetry is about nature, family and being gender diverse. Shaine is a much-loved rising star in the SA poetry scene…her collection of poems The Natural World Turns Somersaults was published in October 2024. Here is what Felicity Plunkett wrote about Shaine’s book: These sharp, tender, smart and smarting poems move from childhood memories to depict the charge and dangers of adolescence and the cultivation of a gentler way of being. Attentive to the more-than-human, these are poems attuned to the dark and light, celebrating resilience and renewal. Truthful and musical, this is a vital and striking debut collection.

Please join us, and don't forget you can bring your own poem to share during our open mic session.

General admission $15, concession $12.
