August is POETRY MONTH!

 

Junk Journals - covers

A whole month of poetry! How sweet is that? An initiative of Red Room Poetry, you can head over to their website and check out all the wonderfully poetic things that are happening between August 1-31.

 

I'll also be releasing details very soon of how you can sign up for my newsletter. Yeah, I've been dreaming about setting up a newsletter for loyal followers for quite some time now, and Poetry Month is just the right motivation to make it happen. The first newsletter will offer discounts to my upcoming (return) season of SIARAD in September, plus specials on the print and audio book. I'll also have more information about my hand-made Poetry Prompt Journals.

I learnt how to make Junk Journals recently, at a great place called The Adelaide Remakery. What fun! So, I've added my twist to them, and have been busy making Punk As Fuq Poetry Prompt Junk Journals (I know, it's a mouthful) - a fun resource to help inspire you with your poetry writing. Made from free and found materials, they contain images, writing prompts and different textures to make you wanna take up your pen and write.

Re Performing: I had the pleasure of performing live twice in the last few weeks: Creative Flow #4 at Arthur-ART Bar and Poetry With Purpose at Holden Street Theatres, a fundraiser for mental health research. Both very special nights. Keep a look out for Creative Flow #5 in September. 

 

And finally, I've got a special performance coming up in August for poetry month here in Adelaide, but I can't say what it is just yet! Watch this space!
