The major aim of the project is to encourage the creation and enjoyment of poetry in the Cardwell shire, through a series of innovative workshops and the creation of a community poetry wall to be launched during the National Poetry Week. Another goal of the project is to reinvigorate the writing community of Cardwell by giving them a focus, and inspiration to get writing groups meeting on a regular basis. If the project is met with some enthusiasm by participants and the community it has the potential to be developed into a literary event which complements other local festivals but gives a focus to writing/across art forms. This project also encourages writers to work across genres, of photography, text and art and encourages Cardwell’s young people to express themselves this way as well.

Hey Dr. June, perhaps you can keep the ripple blog alive after the Tully event? Rippling across the world.
