SpeedPoets February 2013 Feature: Vanessa Page

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be bringing SpeedPoets to The Hideaway for its 13th year. It’s venues like this that make Brisbane the amazing city it is! Just in case you have forgotten, details of the first gig are:

Date: Saturday February 23
Venue: The Hideaway, 188 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley
Time: Doors at 1:30pm for a 2pm Open Mic Start
Entry: Gold Coin Donation

And to add to the excitement, SpeedPoets will launch Vanessa Page’s debut full length collection, Confessional Box. Vanessa has been a regular at SpeedPoets for many years now, so I had a chat with her to see how she was feeling about the launch and her memories of SpeedPoets.

*****

You’ve been a regular ‘Open Mic’er’ at SpeedPoets for many years now Vanessa. What is your first memory of coming along to a gig?

My first memory of SpeedPoets was during its Inspire Gallery period at West End . I came along, mostly just to listen because I’d never performed a poem before in my life! It was really my first foray into the poetry scene here in Brisbane , even though I’d been writing for a bit and trying my hand at a few competitions around the place. On that day, it was my then 8 year old son who signed on to read a poem he had written called ‘Nature’. With some gentle encouragement from Graham and my son Harvey I signed on to read as well. I’ve regularly attended SpeedPoets since then and it is a real highlight of the month to be able to gather with other Brisbane poets and share words together. I’ve made some terrific friends along the way and it really has become a ‘must-do‘ on the calendar each month for me. I’m pleased to say that very first poem I read at SpeedPoets – ‘Postcard’ features in Confessional Box and I will be making sure it is on the list to read at the launch!

Has reading in the Open Mic and listening to other poets each month helped shape your work?

Reading in the Open Mic has helped teach me the importance of reading my work aloud – even if it is only to myself. It helps with achieving great cadence with your writing. The other great thing is that you can gauge audience reaction when you perform – and when you know your poem has hit the mark or resonated with someone it is a wonderful thing. I always love listening to my contemporaries read – it is always inspiring and I love how each session there is always at least one poem or one line or one moment that really works for me and that I take away home with me. Listening to others is also a great way to look at things differently, try different styles and just broaden the horizons a little. So in terms of my own work, I think constant immersion in poetry whether by listening, reading or performing is an ongoing process that helps me shape my work.

con-box

You are about to launch your debut full length collection, Confessional Box. How are you feeling about it all now that it’s printed and ready to go?

I am feeling good about the book because it is the culmination of a few years’ worth of collected poems. It is nice to see them all in printed form…the process is like ‘putting those poems to bed’, turning out the lights and starting with a fresh page again. I think that is the most satisfying thing. Those poems are done and complete and I can walk away from them happy that they have found a permanent home. I have to say that moment when you hold your book for the first time is pretty special. It is a real thing of beauty and I was lucky enough to collaborate with my talented friends – artist Maryanne Oliver and designer Jessica Fazakarley on the cover art. I just hope the poems in the book bring others as much happiness as they bring me when I read them.

Getting a publishing contract for a debut collection is a wonderful opportunity. How did this all happen for you?

The poems in the book are drawn from my entry manuscripts for the Arts Queensland Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize. I entered this competition in 2011 and 2012 and was named as a runner up in this prestigious award both years. At last year’s Queensland Poetry Festival I got talking to Ralph Wessman from Tasmania ’s Walleah Press and he expressed interest in publishing my two shortlisted manuscripts. So really it has become a ‘best of’ those two manuscripts. I realise that I am extremely fortunate to be offered a publishing contract ‘out of the blue’ like that and I hope that it is a reflection of the hard work invested in the collection. It certainly helped balance the disappointment of being ‘bridesmaid’ two years in a row for the Shapcott Prize! Working with Walleah Press has been extremely enjoyable, and the books are really lovely.

What are you most looking forward to about the SpeedPoets launch?

I am most looking forward to sharing some poems from the book with my friends from the Brisbane poetry scene. It is nice to launch it at the new home of SpeedPoets and quite fitting seeing as my first foray into performance poetry was several years ago at SpeedPoets. SpeedPoets is almost like a ‘family’ so I am very much looking forward to it.

VPAbout Vanessa:

Vanessa Page is a Brisbane-based poet who hails from Toowoomba in Queensland . Her first manuscript, Memory Bone was shortlisted for the 2010 Press Press Prize and in 2011 and 2012 she was named runner-up in the Arts Queensland Thomas Shapcott Prize for an unpublished manuscript. In April 2012 she launched her first micro-collection of poetry Feeding Paper Tigers through Another Lost Shark Press as part of the Brisbane New Voices series. Confessional Box is her first full-length collection of poetry.

March SpeedPoets Opens With A Bang!

The 2012 SpeedPoets year got off to a flyer last Sunday with our beloved new home Brew, full to squirming for most of the afternoon. March features Ross Donlon and mr oCean both turned in stunning sets and the Open Mic list was a mammoth 35 poets long, including 7 first time readers.

Highlights of the day for mine were Ross Donlon’s reading of his poem, The Boy and the Suitcase and mr Ocean’s guitared-up collaboration with Sheish Money. And let’s not forget the announcement of first Call Back Poet of the year…  yes, put your virtual hands together for first time SpeedPoets reader, Jo Brooks.

Jo will go on to feature at the November SpeedPoets event and be in the running for cash, prizes and the title Speedpoets Open Mic Champion for 2012. I will be running a feature on Jo in the next week, so keep your eyes peeled.

And a big thanks to Chloe Callistemon for snapping these great pics at the event. You can view the whole album here.

SpeedPoets first gig for 2012 this Saturday, March 3

SpeedPoets rolls back into Brew (Lower Burnett Lane, Brisbane City) for the first time in its new timeslot for 2012 – the first Saturday of the month. And to celebrate the new year, they are welcoming back one of their favourite sons, mr oCean, who has spent the last few years in Berlin immersing himself in all things poetry and music. Featuring alongside mr oCean will be Victorian poet and recent winner of the Wenlock Festival Poetry Prize, Ross Donlon.

As always there will be free zines, raffles, the roaring guitar of Sheish Money and Brisbane’s hottest Open Mic Section. And this year, the Open Mic Section will light up with the introduction of the Call Back Poet section. The Call Back Poet will be selected by the monthly features and given the opportunity to perform a mini-feature to close the event (3-4 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. So instead of just packing a couple of poems in your pocket, make sure you come prepared… you may just be Called Back!

Date: Saturday March 3
Location: Brew (Lower Burnett Lane, Brisbane City)
Time: 2pm – 5pm
Entry: Gold Coin Donation

Here’s a poem from each of our feature poets to build the excitement…

Schneeliebe (another reprise)

This swirling galaxy of feathers
Falling slow from dark grey sky
Is not really falling:
We are rising.

We delight in the wonder of physics –
This geometric joy warming us
Even as our fingers freeze –

In the same way we look to the stars,
Knowing, understanding to our every atom
That this – all these perfect patterns –
Is what makes us possible:

We delight, because in the snow and stars
We see what we are made of
And know that it is good to be alive.

© mr oCean

A Celebration of Something

It was amazing, fantastic, unbelievable.
The opening ceremony was amazing, fantastic, unbelievable.
Individuals were amazing, fantastic unbelievable.
Teamwork was amazing, fantastic, unbelievable.
Organisation was amazing, fantastic, unbelievable.
Men, women and children performed to the utmost of their ability and all were amazing, fantastic, unbelievable.
Household names shone like whitegoods -  amazing fantastic, unbelievable.
Celebrities glittered like gods – amazing, fantastic, unbelievable -
although someone spotted someone’s someone doing something they shouldn’t with someone else.  They were boiled alive next day in the tabloids. Amazing, fantastic, unbelievable.
The webs of social network followed us around like kites.  Amazing, fantastic, unbelievable.
Corporate boxes, logos, models, hospitality pavilions and the little promotional animals were all amazing, fantastic, unbelievable.
Drug abuse and corruption were amazing fantastic unbelievable.
From the Eye in the Sky, the streamers, balloons and confetti appeared like lines and dots from a cave painting representing, perhaps, a symbol of continuity or a spirit being with long hair.
At the conclusion of each performance, competitors stood, held totems and gifts, received adulation and raised their arms to the sky
Sometimes the sky was blue and the sun shone brightly. Sometimes the sky was grey.
There was also cloud, rain and wind.
In some parts of Australia the sun, cloud, rain and wind were present in areas where the event did not exist.
In some high rise apartment buildings, mid density or outer suburban dwellings, country towns, hamlets or outback rural communities there were those for whom the event did not exist.
Slowly warming, the earth continued to spin through space.
Sometimes it was in darkness, laced only by the reflected light of the moon and stars.
At other times it glowed in its orbit around the sun.
Gold. Gold. Gold.
Amazing. Fantastic. Unbelievable.

© Ross Donlon

SpeedPoets June Feature #2: Phillip Ellis

SpeedPoets rolls back into its new home, Brew (Lower Burnett Lane, Brisbane City) this Sunday. Alongside the delightful Mardi Lumsden, who will be strapping on her acoustic guitar and lighting up the room with her songs, we are also thrilled to have Phillip Ellis bringing his words with him from just across the border for the very first time.

Phillip is a freelance critic and scholar, and his poetry collection, The Flayed Man, has been published by Gothic Press; Gothic Press will also edit a collection of essays on Ramsey Campbell, that he is editing with Gary William Crawford. Phillip is working on another collection, to appear through Diminuendo Press. Another collection has been accepted by Hippocampus Press, which has also published his concordance to the poetry of Donald Wandrei. He is the editor of Australian Reader, Melaleuca, and Breaking Light Poetry Magazine.

Here’s a recent poem from Phillip:

Point Danger

When the waves break, upon the boulders
under the point, the clouds from the east
they have called towards the land form
a resistless sea of darkness, covering
the ocean, the shore, the land to the mountains
that will claw all the rain from them, rain left
after the storm has clawed the coast
a miniscule moment towards the ocean.

Yet Point Danger faces the ocean,
its flanks dazzle-wet in the light
of late evening, that fades to a night
of clouded stars, and inclement drizzle
that ripples on light, and washes down
the lengths of windows shut to the darkness.

 

********************

And as always, there will be live sounds from Sheish Money, raffles & giveaways + Brisbane’s hottest Open Mic Section, so make sure you are there to make the mic sing with your words!
 
Date: Sunday June 5
Time: 2pm – 5pm
Place: Brew, Lower Burnett Lane, Brisbane City (http://www.brewgroup.com.au/)
Entry: Gold Coin Donation 
 
The venue has a strict capacity of 60 people, so make sure you are there early to get your seat in the room!

SpeedPoets June Feature #1: Mardi Lumsden

Brisbane songstress, Mardi Lumsden has been likened to the stray kitten that shows up on your doorstep:

Too cute to ignore, you usher it into your life with the briefest intentions: a saucer of milk … a cursory, inquisitive listen. Slowly but surely with repeated exposure, it becomes so familiar it’s hard to remember a time before your paths crossed.

Matt Connors, The Courier Mail

 And so it is with great joy, I can announce that Mardi will be bringing her sweet alt-folk to SpeedPoets on Sunday June 5 as we roll back in to Brew (Lower Burnett Lane). We chatted recently about poetry, lyrics and the creative process. This is what tumbled out…

Ezra Pound famously quoted that ‘Poetry atrophies when it gets too far from music.’ What relationship do your lyrics have with poetry?

My lyrics happen quite organically when I’m writing music. I’m not sure that I would call them poetry because I have only ever hear them sung. Saying that, it is really important that lyrics can stand on their own. I’m certainly inspired by great writers, poets and lyricists and try to use techniques I’ve learnt over the years to capture meaning in a poetic way while fitting it into a song’s structure.
 
What do you look for in a lyric?

Something with meaning. Something that is not predictable, yet makes sense. Something that naturally tells a story that people can relate to. A way of saying something that everyone connects with, but hasn’t been said yet. Something that can be interpreted in different ways depending on the listener.
 
Who are the songwriters that have influenced your work?

I have really been inspired by songwriters who try something different and can tell a great story in 3 and a half minutes. People like Sufjan Stevens who can completely capture you and transport you to the world inside his head, only to deliver you back to earth 4 minutes later with an altered sense of understanding. Paul Kelly’s writing does the same thing but perhaps in a more earthy way. I was really inspired by all the protest music (from the 60s to the 90s) because it proved that music can change the way people think. I love Australian songwriters like Grand Salvo, Clare Bowditch, Holly Throsby and Darren Hanlon for their storytelling ability. I love musicians like Glen Hansard (The Frames / The Swell Season), Bon Iver, and (brisbaneite) Alan Boyle for the passion and energy that comes through their music. I love Iron and Wine for the calmness in Sam’s songs – they take you to somewhere else. There is nothing that can be faked here. It is all very real and human. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it makes you laugh, but it always makes you feel.
 
Tell us about your creative process…

I write music first and lyrics tend to come with that. Usually if something is hard, for me, it is probably not the direction it should be going. I am not a prolific writer but when I write it usually happens very quickly. Then I go back and look over the lyrics and work out if that is the best word or phrase. Sometimes I will change large sections, cut whole verses out, but usually what came out first is what I keep. There is something subconscious about that.

What do you love most about the Brisbane music scene?

I love the variety in the music in Brisbane at the moment. It seems like most people I meet seem to make music. Encouraging that at every level will continue to form a rich and appreciated arts culture in Brisbane.

**********

Mardi Lumsden is an alt-folk singer–songwriter from Brisbane, Australia . In 2010, Mardi Lumsden & the Rising Seas recorded their long-awaited second EP with producer Magoo  (Operator Please, The Gin Club, Regurgitataor, Kate Miller- Heidke) at his Applewood studio, a converted church.

The Brisbane 5-piece, comprising Andrew Pennay (banjo, banjo-mandolin, piano, melodica, and backing vocals), David Callanan (lead and slide guitar, glockenspiel, and mandolin), Jane McEniery (double bass and bass), and Joachim Alfheim (drums), released a cassingle at the Brisbane Powerhouse in April 2010 then the EP, called Wherever you go, there you are, at Queensland’s Old Museum on 29 May, alongside the group’s new video clip, filmed by India-based cinematographer Mark Lapwood (Evermore).

The EP’s closing track, Classified (WVTM), won the 2010 Q Song award in the Folk/Ballad section and was a finalist for the 2010 Song of the Year.

Live, Lumsden has been described as “a sanguine and superb songbird. Her voice has a delightful, whimsical lilt, as do her lyrics, which are about intimate, urbane experiences of late twenty-somethings. Her songs would complement, as a soundtrack, any Nick Earls or Rebecca Sparrow books.” (lifemusicmedia.com 12 July 2009).

SpeedPoets 10th Birthday Feature #3 – Baron Field

Rounding out the trio of birthday features and bringing a little music to the show is Brisbane troubadour, Baron Field. Baron and I caught up for a chat recently and here’s what transpired…

It has been a while coming, but your self-titled, debut album was released this year. Tell us about the recording process…

Yes it took a while. I wanted to record myself. I wanted to buy some gear, set it up, learn how to use it and make an album from what I’d learned. I’ve never been fast… at anything ( though I could be smartarse in the schoolyard). In fact, I’d say I am spectacularly flat-footed, both physically and mentally, in no small part due to the carefree excesses of my youth. But as far as this record is concerned, it meant I could take my time, record a part, listen back, let it percolate, change it, scrap it, re-record it, start again etc. and all the while I was becoming more familiar with the gear and the processes… and the song, and with what I wanted from the song and what (I thought) the song needed from me. Some of the tunes may still be traumatised by the evil wrought upon them but I’m happy with the results overall.

The bulk of the album was recorded across three houses, two of them in Ipswich where I recently lived for eighteen months. The houses were old and wooden. One had a view of the twin spires of St Mary’s Catholic Church from the back door. The yard of the other was paved with recycled concrete from the old railway platform of Sadlier’s Crossing Station. Ipswich is much quieter than Brisbane and this made recording easier since the houses obviously weren’t soundproofed. We could walk to the pub and there are country markets around the district to visit when a break was called for. Oddly, fish and chips are generally of exceptional standard in Ipswich and this sustained us through a lengthy session or two. One joint even sold canoli. 

I was very fortunate to have some wonderful contributions from great musicians like Sue Ray, Mick Elliott, Kieran Waters, Toby Gifford and Joel Wilson. They brought out characters in the songs that altered and enhanced the original vision and their fine, fine, creative musicianship proved truly inspirational. I cannot thank them enough for their talent and support. 

Your lyrics always carry a strong narrative. How do you approach the writing of a song?

The process changes from song to song really… and probably comes down to what purpose is to be served by writing. I recently read a piece on Cold Chisel’s album East in which Don Walker said that he’d made a conscious decision to try to write a hit song. Those kinds of decisions are probably made by certain people in certain situations and I’m certainly in no position to think about gold records. But it’s indicative of a certain attitude towards work with which I can identify. I mentioned I lived in Ipswich. At one point I wanted to write a song about the place. Maybe to mark the fact that I’d spent time there, I’m not sure. But it was reason enough to write a song so I did. I did some research and found a story and re-told it and maybe, if I ever make another album it’ll be on there. The point is I found a reason to do it or maybe I just kidded myself I had a reason. You can’t discount the notion that half of it is bluffing yourself into believing you’ve got something relevant to say. I’ve written songs purely for wordplay. Just to muck around with words and rhythm. ‘Fallen Lighters’ from the new album came about because I hadn’t written anything for a while and needed to put pen to paper. A good love song is a difficult thing to write but it’s the most fulfilling if you succeed I think. I’ll be working on those as long as I can for sure. Still think the Ipswich tune will make the cut for the next record though. Just not sure about the gold record comin’ Baron’s way any time soon.

Who are the people you love to listen to? Do you have an album that you always go back to?

Well today I listened to the David McComb (The Triffids) album ‘Love Of Will’. I’ve owned it for a long time but have grown more fond of it over the last couple of years. ‘Born Sandy Devotional’ from The Triffids means a great deal to me as it does to many. ‘Post’ from Paul Kelly. Archie Roach’s ‘Charcoal Lane’ is a phenomenally powerful record. Cold Chisel and Don Walker have been a part of my musical life since I was seven or eight years old. I discovered King Curly a few years back have found myself routinely playing their ‘Familyman’ and ‘Doomsday Piano’ albums. These are records made by Australians obviously. Like many of my generation, I heard a lot of North American popular music as I was growing up. We sang ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’ in the second grade at school. ‘Modern Times’ (Bob Dylan) came out 2008 maybe? It’s a gem. Something from Gillian Welch I will take with me when I go. Barroom Girls from ‘Revival’ is as good a song as I’ve heard. Townes Van Zandt and through Townes, Guy Clarke- Old No. 1 & Texas Cookin’. I just watched a video of Dolly Parton do ‘Down From Dover’ in London in 1983. Wrote it when she was eighteen years old and if she’d done nothing else she’d still be way up there in gold class. I could go on… Leonard Cohen (The John Lissauer albums), Tom Waits (my first album was ‘Blue Valentines after a friend played me ‘Heart Attack & Vine’)… and on… 

 
If you had to give people a tip on where to catch some of Brisbane’s best local live music, where would you recommend?

People used to lament that Brisbane didn’t have enough live music venues but I don’t think it’s the case these days. Actually, I’ve been somewhat reclusive lately so any tips I have will no doubt be hopelessly passe by lunch time tomorrow. They are renovating the Boundary Hotel in West End at the moment but get down there sometime to see Blind Dog Donnie on a Friday night at least once in your life. Better still get down yr local and tell them your ready to embark on a stellar career in booking & promotion. Book Baron Field and then I’ll be happy to hand out the tips on where it’s at :)

**********

To check out some of the sounds from Baron’s self-titled, debut album head on over to: http://baronfield.bandcamp.com/ but more importantly, make sure you are there on Sunday March 6 at InSpire Gallery Bar (71 Vulture St West End) from 2pm, when Baron straps on his guitar/banjo/mouth harp and delivers you his sweet country blues. The album will be available at the gig! I know I will be bringing one home…
