“Artemis Seven is the child of the goddess Artemis and an AI, created to stave off the
inevitable demise of the ancient gods in the new world. The first prototype to
survive the merge, Artemis is by nature so experimental that even she doesn't
know what she's doing until it's been done.”

The Newcastle Writers Festival
I am
part of the 2017 Newcastle Writers Festival. As one of the people who created
and runs BAD!LSAM!NO!BISCUIT! I was invited to be part of the Slam! Poetry and Performance panel on the Saturday. The panel includes Australian
Poetry Slam founder Myles Merril, and Sarah Mansour from Bankstown Poetry Slam.
David Grantham will be the host. I am looking forward to the discussion and
learning about some of the different poetry slams that are run in Australia.
On the
Sunday I will be performing some of my work alongside Michael Aiken, Magdalena
Ball, Joanne burns, Eileen Chong, John Foulcher, Judy Johnson, Sara Mansour,
Ravi Nagaveeran, Philip Salom, Berndt Sellheim, Melinda Smith and Maggie Walsh
as part of Port of Newcastle – Poetry in the Place.
I
lived in Newcastle for about ten years, mostly in the East End, Cooks Hill and Bar
Beach but I haven’t been back since one of the early This is Not Art festivals,
so I am looking forward to seeing how much it has changed. The Newcastle Writers Festival runs from 7-9 April, the events I am part of are free, come
along and check them out.

This Band
Will Self Destruct Vol. 1!
Nick
Delatovic spent 2016 forming bands. Each band only existed for one day. Every
song they wrote got it's own music video complete with costumes, sets and a
story. Every song was played live, and then never again. These 12 music videos
chart a doomed attempt to make sense of the world through pop music.
THIS IS
PART 1 OF THREE PARTS, LOOK FOR MORE ANNOUNCMENTS IN THE FUTURE
And!
Nick
Delatovic will be singing the BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! Canberra National Anthem
Live!

Georgina
Vallance
Georgina
Vallance is a lawyer by day and by other times the 2016 BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!
CANBERRA NATIONAL POETRY SLAM CHAMPION and the ACT Australian Poetry Slam
Champion. Georgina is a Council Member of the Australian National University
Young Alumni and a purveyor of fine smoked meats. Much of Georgina's poetry is
focused on improving visibility and understanding of mental health issues faced
by LGBTIQ people, the trials and tribulations of working in the legal industry
and amusing true-to-life depictions of living in the wonderful city that is
Canberra.
