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 At the Book Launch by Mags Webster
Mags Webster was a wonderful poet, researcher, freelance writer and editor. Her first book, The Weather of Tongues, (Sunline Press) won the 2011 Anne Elder Poetry Award. Mag’s most recent book, nothing to declare (Punch & Waterman), was shortlisted in the 2021 Prime Minister’s Literary Awards. Mags passed away late in 2025.
