The State Library in Melbourne is getting better and better with age. Tomorrow (Thursday), the famous institution will be presenting a free forum discussing artists' zines and the spoken word.
The event will feature Steve Grimwade & Lisa Greenaway from Going Down Swinging, Jessica Tuckerman from City Library Street Press and Luke Sinclair from the catacomb zine palace that is Sticky.
But aside from these great talents, I am very interested to see the spoken-word performance by Sean Whelan. This poet turned an old copy of Dubliners, James Joyce's classic novel, into a modern salute called Melbourners. I hear the poetry is even better than the concept.
(I wish these people had links but it's hard to find much about them online. All the more reason to come along and see what they're really about.)
see you at 5:45 in front of the state library
call me if you are going to be late
hope you are having fun today!!
I am glad that you are going to this. I meant to tell you about it but i forgot.
It was very inspirational. Anna, you would have enjoyed Steve Grimwade. He had some interesting bits of information about writing and publishing.
Oh! Taitey! I'm so angry I missed this.
