Post date: 19 April 2011
Deadline: 29 April 2011

Australian Poetry, in partnership with Midsumma and MCV, Melbourne's Gay and Lesbian Community Voice, presents the launch of a new poetry readings program in Melbourne on 14 May:

one.seven.six

one.seven.six is a monthly event series at 176 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne (the Wheeler Centre) bringing the poetry community together to cross-pollinate, challenge and celebrate each other’s work. The featured poet for our first event this year is start performer and poet, Terry Jaensch. Emerging poets are also being offered the opportunity to read their work based on the broad theme of 'celebrating queer culture'.

If you're an emerging poet and want to read as part of this event, then... Submit up to three poems on the set theme to our Events Coordinator, Raphaela Lee, at: raph@australianpoetry.org by 29 April. If you submit, please ensure you are free on 14 May from 3 to 5pm to attend our event at one.seve.six!
