AFTER a pandemic enforced three-year hiatus Poets Corner will resume live poetry readings every two months from 2pm to 4pm from Sunday 7 May at its new home at the Flinders Golf Club.
There will be two open mic sets and a featured poet, who in May will be Alan Pentland.
Pentland ran Melbourne’s first stand-up comedy club, Le Joke, was a key player in the multi-Logie winning TV comedy Fast Forward and has won awards at three international film festivals. A former architect and performer, Pentland in 2017 won a Slam competition and other poetry awards, culminating in the Melbourne Spoken Word Prize.
Flinders Golf Club is in Bass Street, Flinders. Tickets are $5. Bookings at trybooking.com/CHOBX
The golf club is licensed and food is available. Bookings can be made by calling 5989 0583 or at flindersgolfclub.com.au/cms/our-club/dining/
