Fremantle Shipping News is pleased to bring you The Wednesday Poem.
In this feature we post poems by Freo and Freo-connected poets and those who may not call themselves poets but love writing poetry or having a go!
Today, we are pleased to bring you Lament for a Creek by Reneé Pettitt-Schipp.
Reneé Pettitt-Schipp‘s first poetry collection, The Sky Runs Right Through Us, was shortlisted for the Dorothy Hewitt manuscript prize and won the WA premier’s Literary Award for an Emerging Writer. Renee’s debut non-fiction work, The Archipelago of Us, was released by Fremantle Press in 2023. Renee lives in Western Australia’s Great Southern.
