'The Dan’s Poets anthology is a cooperative effort between two of Melbourne’s most iconic and creative community establishments. The Dan’s Poets and The Fire Station Print Studio. The Dan’s Poets have for over twenty years gathered each week at the Dan O'Connel Hotel, one of Carlton's oldest local pubs, dating back to 1884, to share a love poetry and community. The Firestation Print Studio is also a community based organisation, with a curatorial strategy supporting artists from local and diverse cultural backgrounds at various stages of their career. This book is designed to celebrate the natural alliance between the visual talent of the Fire Station printmakers/artists and the literary skills of the Dan’s Poets.'
