FINDING THE INNER POET
My mother bought me a hat one dayAnd it looked just like my cat - a stray!!
So begins a poem written by the Taperoo Community Centre Poetry and Performance Group.
It’s one of many illustrated poems included in the first volume of poetry books written by the creative participants and writers, which has also included members of Karrarendi.
Karrarendi is a culturally focused program for Aboriginal people of different abilities. It comprises an adults program of activities including art and craft and performing arts.
Centre Coordinator, Kathy Miller, says the volume of work produced by the group has been impressive.
It’s been a wonderful and creative way to improve literacy and everyone illustrated their own work with a painting. We’ve been able to make up three booklets now to celebrate everyone’s achievements.
