Today we are focusing on a different form of poetry, with a verse novel written by poet Bel Schenk. Our Poem of the Week is ‘Television Flickers’ from her book Every Time You Close Your Eyes. This verse novel features a series of short poems that, when strung together, paint a vivid picture of the North American blackouts of 1977 and 2003.
Poetry really is for every person and every age, as today’s Poem of the Week shows. Our weekly poetry spotlight is shining on children’s poetry book Tadpoles in the Torrens, a poetry anthology edited by Jude Aquilina.
Today, discover a poem taken from The Elsewhere Variations, a collection by Peter Bakowski and Ken Bolton. This week’s poetry feature is ‘Subject Matter Sonnet’.
Today we are looking at iconic and award-winning Australian poet Geoff Goodfellow for our Poem of the Week blog series. The poem is ‘An Uncertain Future’ taken from the very interesting textbook and teacher’s resource The People’s Poet Transformed (also by teacher Rebecca Bond).
For this week’s entry into our Poem of the Week blog series, I have chosen a work by author and poet Annette Marner. The feature today is a poem called ‘For The Fallen Women’ taken from the collection Women With Their Faces On Fire.
