Chamber Poets

With thanks to the Midlands Express 7 Feb 2023:

The Chamber Poets spoken word event celebrates its 10th year on February 11.

The Macedon Ranges monthly poetry event continuously attracts a loyal crowd with a regular open reading section, often featuring more than 20 poets vying for the coveted Poet of the Month.

Alongside the open section, eaach month includes entertainment from the house band Black Smoke, and an invited guest or special event.

Chamber Poets MC, Myton Lysenko, is a professional poet whose reputation attracts some of Australia's finest poets to the Macedon Ranges. Many of these have been feature readers and are included in the Chamber Poets anthology, Shots from the Chamber. Works from the anthology by some of these wonderful poets will be revised as a highlight of the 10th year anniversary.

Chamber Poets gained its name from the old Council Chambers cafe in Woodend which was the original venue for the first four years. After a few moves, the Chamber Poets settled into the Woodend RSL and found a welcoming and supportive space, which provides a full bar service along with free tea and coffee. ...

The event is held on the second Saturday of every month, from 1pm to 4 pm at the Woodend RSL and all are welcome.

Entry is $5 or $10 at the discretion of the attendee.
