Auburn Poets and Writers at Westwords Monday

I picked up Mic and Virginia and drove out to Parramatta on Monday night for a reading. Danny Gardner introduced a new segment where the audience has to pick whether the reader is telling the truth or not and it went off well, everyone got involved. I also Met Paul out there he'd come on his own steam.

One of the poets Devina Bedford (above) gave us a performance of her witty poems, many of which rhyme. It was her 'Current Affairs' routine with politics the main subject. Alan Joyce got a roasting.

Also on the schedule was Bhol Kumar Dhamala (above) who recited poems and gave us a performance on his flute.

Bhol got us all together for a group shot so he could take it back to his country and Devina jumped in to nab a selfie (see above).

It was a great night but my enthusiasm was dampened when i discovered that the motorway was closed on the way back to town. After a missed turning we got back to the main road without mishap.
