Overview

Poems are happening all around us - when you're breezing along on your bike seeing people, houses, dogs and traffic as they flash by; when there's a possum on the wall at school and everyone's gathered around; or when the seagulls rise and fall with each ball bowled at the oval. Tadpoles in the Torrens is alive with people, places and creatures from our everyday lives and from the quirky imaginations of poets.
