The launch today of poetry exhibition, Ribbons of Cursive, Razors of Font, at the Australia Council for the Arts heralds the arrival of a new national body for poetry, Australian Poetry. Formed by a merger between the Poets Union and Australian Poetry Centre, Australian Poetry will push boundaries of the artform, support the existing poetry community and build audiences and partners for poetry in local regions and around the world.
