Poets Joel O'Connor and Sean Stanyer join the Rambling lads to chat about the launch of Millennium Poets, an anthology of poetry celebrating the vibrant poetry scene that was born in Bendigo in the early 1990's and transformed into the Millennium Poets scene around Fitzroy in the late 1990's.

This is a story of how a small but vibrant and inclusive arts scene has crossed decades and generations, and how the creativity and passion of individuals can transform a community.

The Millennium Poets Anthology launch is being held at the Empress Hotel in North Fitzroy on Saturday 28th March at 3pm. Entry is free but RSVP required here.
