We are proud of member, Hemet who has also been very involved with Westwords previously having a win and has read her poetry at spoken word competitions. Hemet has also been involved in poetry readings, one is of which was 15th May, at her friend, Elizabeth Walton’s book launch of, How To Read A City, at the Westwords venue Parramatta. Hemet has another poetry reading early June at Kedumba Gallery in Wentworth Falls. We admire her dedication to the written word and are proud she is one of our members.
Good writing, Hemet.
