Our next Poets’ Breakfast is on September 17th, 2023, at the Kincumber Neighborhood Centre, ‘the Hub’ (inside the 2nd building to the right), from 10:30am – 12pm.
This month we are honoured to feature the wild and wondrous singer and storyteller, Donné Restom. Donné has been developing her art for over 2 decades – whether it’s performing poetry in costume on the stage with a world famous circus, making videos of her pop songs in LA, creating digital art, telling stories on stage at writers’ festivals, designing websites or singing Jazz with her band hailing from the times of Billie Holiday and beyond, she follows her own way. Dripping with originality, softness, wildness and studiousness to boot Donné’s stories and song will wake you up, make you laugh, make you dream and make you wish you were bold. Don’t miss the chance to see this stunning performer folks, in this homespun and relaxed environment.
About the gathering: It’s a fun gathering of writers, those who are just curious, or people who simply want to listen and be inspired. There’s an open mic available to ALL (don’t be shy!, whether you’d like to read out your own work or the work of others that you are inspired by!). We have professional writers and absolute first timers. Bush poets and spoken word artists. Songwriters and storytellers. We gather to listen and to perform work and enjoy. There’s no pressure here to be anything but yourself! You are welcome.

General ‘about’
Poets and poetry lovers, come one come all to help us start a regular meeting of poets and poet enthusiasts. All are welcome. This ‘event’ is about sharing work, enjoying hearing other people’s work, and getting together in the name of the Arts and in particular, the written and spoken word whether it is your work or the work of others.
The open mic section offers anyone who so desires a space to read their work. No need to be a professional poet (but we welcome you if you are). Song lyrics and short stories are also encouraged.
You do not need to be a poet to attend – support a friend or colleague, find inspiration in other people’s work or just enjoy the ambiance as well as the tea and instant coffee and lite bite which is included in the ticket. Some extra snacks for purchase if you like.
See you there x
