TWILIGHT POETRY BUS TOUR - 27th March 2009
BY GEORGE ATHANASIOU
The twilight poetry bus tour on a double decker bus turned out to be quite an adventure. The two stops at Williamstown and one stop at the base of the Westgate bridge memorial, which lists the names of those that died when it fell during construction, saw the participants brave the dark and cold to hear wonderful poetry from two gifted poets. Kristin Henry and Paul Mitchell kept us warm with their words. Both were eloquent and expressive and despite the cool conditions they both managed to light a fire within each of us to continue to write. We all got to share in some food wine and a few laughs by torchlight. The double decker bus was a bumpy but enjoyable ride.
Interestingly, the night fell on my wife’s 40th birthday which made it quite special for both of us. Thanks, Bruno, for organising quite a memorable event that we all thoroughly enjoyed. I’m sure I speak for everyone who came along with us.
