Zoom Poetry Reading

Featuring Sarah Rice reading from Alight on all things precious + Open Mic

Thursday 19 MARCH 2026, 7.30-9.00pm AEDT

Alight on all things precious is the latest collection by poet-artist Sarah Rice, weaving together ekphrastic poetry and luminous colour reproductions of both her own and others’ artwork.

Join in this special Zoom poetry event to hear Sarah read and share the art that has inspired her – a must for all of us listening, reading, looking and thinking about the insights that poetry can bring.

And Open Mic poets to hear of course.
