poetry is dead or boring or very serious.
maybe all 3?

tune in wednesdays 8-9pm & find out.
(for recordings click here)

we'll be playing haute music tracks between poetry readings & poem chats to keep your ears tingling in all the right ways.

each week I’ll bring in some contemporary, mostly small-press poetry from mostly australia but also elsewhere.
then I’ll read it.

if I find good ratbag guests, I’ll bring them in for little chats about what we’ve been reading in our drafty tassie living rooms,
what the poems do to us.
what they make us feel!!!!!

it's a poem education project:
diy poetry degree w/ 0 hexx & no
quality control but yes
close readings... interest rising??

assume casual explorations of meaning, style & form.
lines we like.
memories remembered by poem lines.
clever word mixes nice 
enjambment :-))

if no guests come then it’s just me & you, listener.
recorded or live,
intimate either way,
just casual tho
nothing serious rn, hbu
