POETRY & PROSE

AT THE PUB

PREPARE YOUR PERFORMANCE FOR POETRY AND PROSE AT THE PUB

Calling all ACT writers: Are you addicted to alliteration?

Like to mix bards and beer?

How about rhyme and strine?

If you do then perhaps a performance at Poetry and Prose at the Pub will lift your literary wings.

Poetry and Prose at the Pub is a new opportunity for ACT writers to showcase their skills in a relaxed environment.

The forum will be launched at 2pm on October 25th at Filthy McFadden’s Irish Pub in Green Square, Kingston, and will continue on a monthly basis on the last Sunday of each month.

Each meeting will contain three events. First, there will be an opportunity for writers to give readings from famous Irish writers. Next is a common-theme event, and finally an open-microphone event within a set-word limit.

For the inaugural event the theme is ‘Skiing in Finnegan’s Wake’. Writers are to compose 50 words (no more, no less) based on the style of James Joyce in Finnegan’s Wake or Ulysses. The compositions must include the words ‘Filthy’ and ‘Ulysses’.

Event organizer and Canberra Institute of Technology writing teacher Lorese Vera said the idea came about as a way to keep in touch and showcase the work of the many talented writers she has taught over the last 10 years.

“There are several terrific poetry slams around town but they all happen in the late evenings and do not always suit people with families,” Lorese said. “These readings will be open to everyone, the venue is family friendly, and the readings include prose as well as poetry. We also expect guest celebrity writers to attend the meetings.”
