Local poetry in anthology

A new poetry anthology has been published by Central Coast Poets group called "Suburbs of the Mind".

It features the work of several Peninsula poets including Gillian Telford, Mary Hawthorne and Angela Johnson who all reside at Pearl Beach.

Ms Jill Nevile, a performing poet at the Woy Woy Sunday Afternoon Fair Go Concerts, also has poetry in the collection.

The book gets its name from Ms Margaret Bradstock, co-editor of the poetry journal "Five Bells", who commented that "Through poetry we can confront the hazardous suburbs of the mind, explore the coasts and mountains of the imagination."

"Suburbs of the Mind" costs $12.50.
