WA POETS INC AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

- Organise an annual WA Spring Poetry Festival (a mini-festival alternate years)

- Develop online networks in the form of a web-database of WA poets

- Develop a resource base in the form of a web-site, including information on readings, competitions, opportunities, etc.

- Explore publishing opportunities for WA poets

- Work towards raising awareness of WA poets and poetry

- Work towards bringing poetry to the public and poets together

WA Poets Inc. has a new and exciting Festival team. All members bring together their creative skills, love of the arts and many, their arts administration experience. The Festival committee is dedicated and enthusiastic, wishing to build on the success of past festivals and to maintain current ties with Western Australia arts and government infrastructure. As administrators with new ideas, scope and vision, WA Poets Inc. is working towards a successful 2008 3-day Spring Poetry Festival. By showcasing local, national and international poets, we believe that we can show the public the camaraderie that exists between Australian poets and their work in general.
