You’re Invited!

Join us at Mossman Library on Saturday, 25 October at 10:00 AM for a local author talk celebrating the poetry of Rob the Poet.

Born in Melbourne into an Air Force family, Rob grew up with a love of travel, fresh beginnings, and seeing the world with open eyes. Along the way, he discovered the value of positivity, the importance of choosing our words carefully, and the strength in knowing when to say no.

Rob fills his days with gardening, writing, and sharing poetry on community radio station 4AM. His words have blossomed over the past twenty years into a body of work that is heartfelt, insightful, and inspiring.

These anthologies showcase Rob’s poetry, exploring themes of nature, nurture, humour, self-growth, and positivity. Whether you’re a lifelong poetry lover or simply curious, this event promises to be uplifting, thoughtful, and full of warmth.

Come along, connect, and celebrate the joy of words with us.
