Since the inception of the festival poetry and the spoken word have been a major part of the Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music.
Patrons are invited to be part of the poetry events and to enjoy the festival poets. This year's feature poets are Gregory North and Russell Hannah.
If you can't make the festival you can still participate in the poetry by submitting a poem in the Broken Ski Award, see details below.

And down by Kosciusko,
where the pine-clad ridges raise
Their torn and rugged battlements on high,
Where the air is clear as crystal,
and the white stars fairly blaze
At midnight in the cold and frosty sky,
And where around The Overflow
the reed beds sweep and sway
To the breezes, and the rolling plains are wide,
The man from Snowy River is a household word today,
And the stockmen tell the story of his ride.
from The Man From Snowy River by Banjo Paterson
