Onya Sonja is a writer and performer and with friends will be hosting a poetry night in Kyogle.
A while ago, a small group began meeting regularly as the Lyricist Association. They shared their writing.
Onya Sonja took her writing to the stage and won a couple of poetry slams.
“I started doing the Lismore Poetry Cup,” Onya Sonja said.
The group of writers approached Arts Kyogle who offered the 131 Creative Space in the shopfront next to the Roxy Gallery.
The Kyogle Poetry Night is on Friday, November 20.
“We will meet as real people in real places to talk about real, unreal, and surreal themes,” Onya Sonja said.
“Some of it will rhyme. Come along to lyricise, lament, listen, or loiter.”
Join Onya Sonja and her poetic friends at Kyogle Poetry Night which will be the launch pad for a series of monthly poetry nights.
“There will be performance poets, spoken word, and social awkwardness,” she said.
“Bring your own poem, someone else’s poem, or a particularly boring classified ad to present on the night.”
There is no pressure to perform, people are welcome to come and listen and not read anything.
Entry is by donation at 131 Creative Space, 131 Summerland Way, Kyogle starting at 6.30pm on Friday, November 20.
