THE THIRD HEAT OF THE
AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY AUSTRALIAN POETRY SLAM!
All for you!
Back in the Phoenix Pub!
And dedicated to marsupials!
Which means we want your words
on the BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! stage!
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! is your
monthly poetry slam in Canberra that provides you with two minutes, (why won’t
they think of the marsupials?), an audience, A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT, two
microphones, THE SCORE ADDER, judges – five judges!, (...the marsupials...)
more first prizes than ever or ever will be, THE MASTER OF CONFLICT, another
MC, A STAGE, The Sacrificial Poet, THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO POETRY or not,
and the chance to perform whatever words you’ve got.
DON’T FORGET THE MARSUPIALS!
There are some special rules
for this heat as it is part of the Australian Poetry Slam. They are here:
http://australianpoetryslam.com/rules.
Oh for the love of
marsupials...
WE HAVE FEATURE ACTS!
And they are:
"Paul Magee is the author
of the surrealist ethnography From Here to Tierra del Fuego (University of
Illinois Press: 2000) and Cube Root of Book (John Leonard Press: 2006), which
is in verse. He is working on Chapter Twelve, again for John Leonard Press.
Paul teaches poetry at the University of Canberra, where he is an Associate
Professor. He has published extensively on psychoanalysis, stagnation, boredom
and revolution."
AND:
"Julia Johnson is the
frontwoman of Julia and the Deep Sea Sirens. She has been compared to Sarah
Blasko and Joni Mitchell, but she has also been compared to Joan Rivers and The
Little Mermaid. You might hate her because she likes poems that rhyme, but she
promises not to perform one. She knows all the words to Gangster's Paradise,
and won the Triple J Unearthed Songwriting Comp earlier this year."
So bring your words ‘cause we
want them on stage because BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! is a poetry slam full of
marsupials.
And remember, no props,
original material, no music, your words, on stage, 2 minutes, at The Phoenix
Pub.
MARSUPIALS ARE NOT A THEME!
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!
(This heat sponsored by IMPACTCOMICS, The Games Capital, The RiotACT, NewActon, and a BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! back shed.)
