AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Sample a few poems from this tempting platter of poetry collected from the 2009 harvest at Carlos Restaurant in Watson, North Canberra. The Poets of Taste group was convened by Café Poet in Residence Fiona McIlroy. Poems of the day are displayed on the counter in menu-holders, and the group is now meeting in the same space re-opened as Joey's Kitchen after the tragic death of the original owner of Carlos. We hope to continue to celebrate the spirit of the local community through poetry for many years to come. So if you believe in the value of fresh local produce...' (Publisher's blurb)
