Poet Brendan Doyle has been writing and sharing poems in the Blue Mountains for years and, in this broadcast from the City of the Arts, he reads us some of his work. 
He was born in Sydney and grew up in Newtown, in a house with no books apart from a set of Richards Topical Encylopedias.  At 17 he started keeping a journal occasionally writing poetry. He was inspired by poets he learned about at University. The Blue Mountains have been his home for many years now.
Brendan is also a member of possibly the largest Australian refugee support group, the Blue Mountains Refugee Support Group and he tells us of some of their vital work.
