THE
PRESENT CRISIS CALLS FOR HEAT NUMBER TWO OF THE ACT AUSTRALIAN POETRY SLAM
HEATS!
This
time at Smiths Alternative Bookstore/shop/frontage/wine bar/cafe...
With
words, bring your words, and your renga, and your haiku, or your tanka, and
your hokku, or even your renku, ‘cause it’s a crisis time I tellsya, crisis,
and only poetry can save us if we wave our arms to the sky and say WORD! or
Yes,
word.
And
no you don’t have to restrict yourself to the above list of poetry forms,
really, we will take anything.
But
there are special rules for this poetry slam heat, find those rules by
following the next link on this page, because preparation is your Uncle, as
they say, and your Uncle is Mad: Australian Poetry Slam!
Now
no poetry night would be complete without a feature act.
And
our feature act for this evening is the all kinds of wonderfully special Drew
Walky!
Drew
Walky’s music has been described as “original and lyrically rich, with a
folk-psychedelic edge” and “personal puzzles…delivered in an alternative folk
style with a very ‘hippy hippy shake’ flavour.”
Read
more about Drew Walky here: BMA Magazine on Drew Walky and then listen to him live at Smiths Alternative
Bookshop on Saturday night.
CRISIS
ALMOST RESOLVED!
In
the invite for Heat One we mentioned the MASTER OF CONFLICT. The Master of
Conflict was unfortunately turned into a vampire that night so who KNOWS IF HE
WILL MAKE IT TO THIS SLAM, but clap and hope he is going to be there for us is
all we can say and do, CLAP IS ALL THAT CAN SAVE HIM, CLAP! You may just bring
him back from the dead, or as the undead. And you do want him there, 'cause he
brings prizes, YES PRIZES!
CLAP,
CRISIS!
And
then, as written earlier, bring yourself and your POETRY SPRUIKING GUNDAM to
Smiths Alternative Bookshop for poetry, and prizes, and glory.
CRISIS
NOT RESOLVED!
CLAP!
Thanks
to our sponsors IMPACT COMICS, THE GAMES CAPITAL,
THE PHOENIX PUB, THE RIOTACT and NEWACTON.
And
remember, there is one more heat after this, it is on 17 October at The Phoenix
Pub and it shall be known as Heat Number Three, and then there is the final at
NewActon on 3 November, it shall be known as…
The
Final
Remember,
crisis… clap...
