Join a fabulous star-studded list of guest readers drawn from the vast ranks of successful Tasmanian women—politicians, poets, teachers, performers, businesswomen, all committed fans of poetry—as we feast on a banquet of poetry written by women in contemporary times.

Featuring, among many others, work by Dorothea McKellar, Wislawa Symborska, Gwen Harwood, Judith Wright, Naomi Shihab Nye, Carol Ann Duffy, Mary Oliver and Maya Angelou.
