Dear All, Just returned from the SubVerse: 2000 Queensland Poetry Festival in Brisbane over the weekend.. what a hoot... heard Gig Ryan, Brook Emery, Judy Johnson, Miriam Lo, John Knight, Michael Sharkey, Mark Pirie (NZ) and the very hip Lewis Scott (USA via NZ) read, had a read myself (my first...Mark P. was in my session) and learnt absolutely heaps.. though I shouldn't be giving advice (as a fledgling) but to my fellow fledglings --- go to readings if you have a chance, after the marvelous experience of this weekend I cannot wait to attend/participate more...viva poetry, viva QPF cheers clayton PS: Bronwyn Lea won the $3000 Arts Queensland prize for Unpublished Poetry - she was also on in my session and she read her winning poem - just exquisite! Margie Cronin and John Knight were the judges this year...so ends the QPF report! (Hope listees don't mind - pretty pumped up about the whole experience.)
