Jan Owen, Les Murray and Judith Beverage

I never thought much of poetry. But after listening to the musings of Jan Owen and Les Murray I have a renewed appreciation for the art.

Quote of the session had to have been from Les Murray when he confessed to once writing a poem that came from a pork sandwich. Also that poems can be born from anything. A teapot, a glass of wine as well as inspiration from other artists.
As the winner of the perversity award Les Murray summed it up the best himself when he told the audience to admire the things like perversity. A snippet of the example he gave was that when you are typing away at the keyboard and you accidentally hit the wrong button and porn pops up. There were many small insight that both of the writers came out with and both made so much sense.
