And just like that...

Thank you to all who attended our last poetry event, The Gaze.
What a privilege it has been to share and connect with you over words for the last 9 years.
We hope you're inspired to keep writing despite our departure and we look forward to what the community of poets generate in this town. 💗
Honoured to have played our small part.

Well, folks, it’s a bittersweet moment for the Lowercase Poetry crew as they announce a well-deserved break after nine years of running their iconic monthly poetry events.

11/03/2025

This March signifies 9 years of running lowercasepoetry. With that milestone, we’ve made the hard decision to have a break from running these monthly poetry events. We love our poetry community and the connections we’ve built through running these events but after much discussion have decided it’s time for us to have some time off. We are so proud to have fostered creativity in this town of ours, and encourage poetic voices that aren’t usually shared to be celebrated. How amazing it has been!
Thank you to everyone who has ever attended lowercase as it’s shifted over multiple venues, grown and changed and become a staple social event for many poets and poetry appreciators. We are looking forward to taking some more time to focus on our own writing, rest and reevaluate. We couldn’t have built this community without the help and attendance of all of you, so thank you once again!

Please join us this Thursday night for one last final hurrah!*

It’s not goodbye, but it is a see ya later!

Big love from
The lowercase trio.

*for now…keep following the socials to see if other events happen down the track!
