On Tuesday 14 February 2012 the Japanese Gardens at the Perth Zoo filled with people and picnics for an evening filled with poetry. Dennis Haskell, Lucy Dougan, Andrew Burke, Kevin Gillam, Vivienne Glance, Amanda Joy, Danny Gunzburg, Jaya Penelope, Scott-Patrick Mitchell, Veronica Lake and Chris Arnold read their poetry by moonlight. MC was ABC Grandstand reporter Karen Tighe.  Perth poets also featured in the dedicated Mulla Mulla Press publication ‘Love Poetry 2012 Fire in my head’, a limited edition only available on the night.
