The Melbourne Poets Union is dedicated to the development of the art of poetry and its promotion.
We are a not-for-profit organization for poets staffed by a volunteer committee. Our membership is approximately 350, most based in and around Melbourne but we have a number of members in regional Victoria, and others scattered throughout the states and territories.
Our bi-monthly publication POAM is free to all MPU members, and contains details of forthcoming events, competitions, writing tips and numerous other miscellany of interest to poets. POAM’s editor is Fiona Sievers who can be contacted at: saidanddone@iprimus.com.au.
Some background on the MPU’s origins was compiled recently by several of our enthusiastic members. We are also publishing the occasional review or book launch speech.
