Poets work at regional gallery

Peninsula poets will have their work highlighted at the Gosford Regional Gallery at 2pm on October 20.

Titled Mood Cumulus, the poetry reading complements the photographic exhibition of Jeff Pickering.

Poetry reading organiser Ms Jackie Pearson said "Mood Cumulus is the latest anthology of the Central Coast Poets Inc".

"It was launched at the Peninsula Theatre last year.

"The anthology includes poems from group members as well as from entrants in the Henry Kendall Poetry Competition.

"Peninsula poets are well represented in the anthology, and are among our readers for this event."

Ms Pearson said the anthology contained four poems written in response to Jeff Pickering's photographic studies of abandoned cars at Flynn's Wrecking Yard in Cooma.

She said; "We've now extended our collaboration with Jeff Pickering and invite Peninsula residents to be our audience."

Ms Pearson said entry is free, refreshments will be provided.
