Yarra Valley Spoken Word 14th November 2025

Next date: Friday, 14 November 2025 | 06:00 PM to 09:00 PM

Welcome to our Yarra Valley Spoken Word Community.

The original custodians of the Yarra Valley, the Wurundjeri people, didn’t write. Their wisdom travelled through time in songs, stories and dance.  We acknowledge this land’s indigenous ancestors and elders, oral historians of the dream-time. This poetry gathering sits on the shoulders of countless generations of wisdom keepers and spoken-word story tellers.

We meet at The Dreaming Space Academy at Yarra Valley ECOSS, Wesburn on the second Friday of the month and welcome you to join us and share your musings.

Ours is a space to share the power of the spoken word, be inspired by our community of artists and learn to write and share life’s depths through this life changing art form.

Families are welcome until after supper, we have a feature artist each month and then Open Mic.

Yarra Valley Spoken Word Friday 14th November 2025 Feature Poet Russell Boyle

Please join us in welcoming a new Feature Poet into our community in November! 

Russell Boyle Bio:

 

Russell Boyle started writing poetry in 1999. He has written five anthologies, each one published as a PDF, that can be purchased online using secure PayPal checkout and supplied by email. Some poems in his first three volumes have adult themes and contain sexual language. His published oeuvre comprises 205 poems. He recently retired from his much-loved lifetime career in secondary mathematics. Since then, his primary focus has been poetry, performing at more than one hundred and forty open-mic events around Melbourne. His preference is to recite, rather than read his poems, as this better enables him to connect with the audience. What he loves most about poetry is the ability to convey powerful, emotional themes with just a few words.
