SpeedPoets is a community of writers, engaging people with poetry in a very public forum – Brew, Lower Burnett Lane, Brisbane. It is a space for artists to meet, perform and establish networks within their local community.
There is nothing that specifically defines SpeedPoets. It is what it is – a creative space where many of Brisbane’s finest poets/spoken word artists experiment with words backed by poetic riff-maker, Sheish Money.
The gig is held on the first Saturday of the month and runs from March to November each year. Each month there is Open Mic, a feature poet and singer/songwriter, a mini-feature by the Call Back Poet, Free Zines and other giveaways. The gig runs from 2pm to 5:30pm and entry is a gold coin donation.
hi dear Editor, i am just wondering if you are taking open poetry subs via email at this time. if yes, could you please send my your guidelines? thanks for attention, and happy new year’s day!
More than happy to receive poetry subs via email for the zine. The best email is speedpoets@yahoo.com.au
I can’t help but wonder, what’s a poetry sub? Hello, sorry, hoping to turn up to your next event and seize an open mic opportunity, feeling awkwardly ignorant!
Hi Saba, sure hope you can make it to Brew on the 14th. Always a great afternoon of words and plenty of open mic opportunities! A poetry sub… well, that’s just short for a poetry submission. If you would like to send a poem to be considered for publication in the monthly zine you can email it to: speedpoets (at) yahoo.com.au
That’s great
Thank you. I might come and read it out on the 14th and see if people reckon it’s worth publishing 
Cheers
Saba
