Come and be nourished by the ripe fruit and rhymes at July’s Dangerously Poetic event, the latest in a long menu of ingenious twists on the genre.

The northern rivers poetry group’s reading on the theme of food, titled Tasting it Twice, will be held at the Bangalow Heritage House on Sunday, July 13.

Share your favourite poem on food (either your own or one you love) during the Open section where readers will compete for our inaugural performance cup!

The featured readers are food and poetry connoisseurs, Ruth Langford and Carl Taylor (pictured).

You can also enjoy original songs by Cassie Rose accompanied by Alex McLeod.

All are welcome to join in the fun, from 3pm to 5pm, for a mere $15 (or $12 for DP members) – including refreshments!

The tea room is at the corner of Ashton and Deacon streets, Bangalow.
