A Word in the Hand
The Streakers of Poetry Bay
April 20 & 21 | 4pm | Nautilus Arts Centre
“The Streakers of Poetry Bay” comprise two poets and a singer/song writer who span three generations — Gen X, Boomers, & Millennials — and hail from Streaky Bay. Each has a distinctive 'voice’ addressing varied subject matter. Compositions range from the lyrical, through serious, irreverent, romantic, satirical, whimsical and bawdy. They perform individually and together, linking their material with good-humoured banter into which the audience is occasionally invited.
The Streakers arose soon after Nick Carroll (Boomer), performing and creative artist, retired with his wife to Streaky Bay in 2022. Nick met Scott Mepham, (Gen X), registered nurse and a life-long poet, with a Collection already published. Through poetry they found immediate rapport. A little later Jesse Giles (Millennial), born in Streaky Bay, IT/Audio Technician, and self-taught musician, joined and soon the generation gaps began closing. Their inaugural performance at Streaky in February 2024 was a surprising success.
Book Launch Event on April 20th at 3:15pm
Join us for the launch of Nick’s latest poetry collection before the poetry recital at 3:15 pm.
Multi-award-winning SA writer and poet Jude Aquilina praises Nick’s work: "It is not often I work with such a competent and skilled poet as Nick. His work is intelligent and his observations keen and accurate. The use of humour and satire in many of the poems make this collection stand out from other poetry books. Here is a poet with compassion and depth, and with eyes wide open to the flaws and foibles of the world we live in."
Don’t miss this chance to celebrate a brilliant new poetry collection before an afternoon of inspiring readings!
