Perth. Free entry. Be early! We start shortly after 2pm. Lots of 5-minute
open-stage slots, plus...
*15 AUG: Morgan Yasbincek*
Poignant insights, clever metaphor, surprising language, and a clear,
elegant reading style... all you could want in a contemporary poet, really.
And it's not just me that thinks so:* MORGAN YASBINCEK is a Western
Australian writer. She has published two collections of poetry and one
novel. Her first collection, Night Reversing won the Anne Elder and Mary
Gilmore awards. Her second collection, Firelick was short-listed for the
Victorian Premier’s CJ Dennis award.Her novel, liv, was short-listed for the
ASAL award and highly commended for the Victorian Premier’s Fiction award.
She has taught creative writing in Australia and overseas and has recently
mentored several first collections of emerging Western Australian poets. She
will (we expect!) be reading from her new collection.*
*22 AUG: Gabrielle Everall + Caroline Sambridge + Fiona Stuart (Melbourne)*
Three (yes, three) strong entertaining women this week! All very different
from one another... so if, like us, you get bored hearing the same thing
over and over, this is for you.* GABRIELLE EVERALL* -- feminist theory eyes
off tight black Levis -- plus *CAROLINE SAMBRIDGE* -- straight-up comic
rhyme -- & *FIONA STUART* -- a slice of Melbourne life. Gabrielle says:* I
was born in 1968 in Warrnambool, I am currently doing a PhD at UWA, I have
been published in The Penguin Anthology of Australian Poetry, Going Down
Swinging, Cordite, Herding Kites, Sleeper's Almanac, Short Fuse, A Salt
Reader etc and have performed at The Big Day Out, National Young Writer's
festival, National Review of Live Art, Putting On An Act, Emerging Writer's
festival, Overload etc. I would describe my writing as re-writing the layers
of writing and experience.* Gabrielle's verse novel 'Dona Juanita and the
love of boys' was published in 2007. I promise you, you've never read
anything like it.**
