Poetry is the method of our future community

Poetry Group

Fortnightly on Wednesdays, 4:30-6:30 pm

Poetry is the method of our future community is a series of fortnightly sessions where friends and members of IPCS, across all levels of poetry writing experience, find in our Reading Room a space for self-expression, discovery, community, and the imagination of our future.

Join Thabani Tshuma and others to work with poetry — your own, or that contained in the many books part of the Martin Harrison Poetry Collection. 

Due to COVID-19 restrictions we are limited to 12 participants in the Reading Room. If you would like to join, please send a brief expression of interest to Thabani Tshuma and Carlos Morreo.

Thabani Tshuma

is a Zimbabwean writer and performance poet living in Naarm/Melbourne. Thabani’s work is influenced by the myriad identity challenges of the diaspora, expatriates, and immigrants, while also addressing awareness around addiction, mental health, and trauma. Thabani was the co-curator of Thin Red Lines, a 2019 Hot-desk fellowship recipient with The Wheeler Centre, a featured author with Djed Press, Slamalamadingdong’s 2019 Grand Slam champion, and was listed among the top slam poets worldwide during the Individual World Poetry Slam (2019). Thabani was also the winner of the 2019 Melbourne Spoken Word Prize, and received the people’s choice and conveners’ choice awards. Writing is the aperture through which he views the world and experiences self in relation to others.
