SpeedPoets continues to serve up its monthly poetry feast at Brew (Lower Burnett Lane, Brisbane City) from 2pm – 5:30pm this coming Saturday. In the month of June, SpeedPoets features a premiere reading by Julie Beveridge from her forthcoming collection, home{sic} and the Brisbane launch of Alan Jefferies new book, a bilingual publication (English/Chinese) titled, Seem.
The June gig will also deliver the regular delights of free zines, raffles, the guitar roar of Sheish Money and Brisbane’s hottest Open Mic Section. And remember… don’t just bring one poem, you never know, you may be named Call Back Poet for the month!
The Call Back Poet is selected by the monthly features and given the opportunity to perform a mini-feature to close the event (2-3 poems) as well as win the right to perform at the last gig of 2012 and be in the running for cash prizes and the title SpeedPoets Open Mic Champion for 2012.
Call Back Poets for the year to date are Jo Brooks, Carmen Leigh Keates and Marisa Allen.
So come along and enjoy the SpeedPoets experience… we’ve been keeping poetry fast in Brisbane for more than a decade!
