Friendly Street Poets

Please come along to the July poetry reading of Friendly Street Poets. We are the longest running poetry reading group in the entire southern hemisphere. We are in our 35th year of operation. We invite you to come and read your poetry, or listen to other poets read and perform a broad range of poetry. If you read, you will have 3 mins at an open mic. Open to everyone, with no censorship.

Any poem read at our meeting is eligible for selection by our editors, Tracey Korsten and John Pfitzner, for possible publication in our 2011 anthology FSP35. Please bring two copies of your poem with you, clearly labelled with your name and contact details, and place them in the reading box next to the microphone.

Our guest poet for the night is TIGGY JOHNSON , from Cockatoo Victoia. She is a short story writer, poet and the Editor of Page Seventeen

It costs  $5 waged / $4 unwaged for a great night of entertainment. Refreshments free inside.

Please book in to read at 6.30pm, for a 7pm start.

The meeting is at the Malcolm Reid Building in East Rundle Street. Please walk eastwards on the southern pavement, down from Hungry Jacks Corner. When you reach Caffe Brunelli please walk to the back of the bistro and go through the only door on your left. Catch the lift to the 2nd Floor Atrium (SAWC).  Inside you’ll also find an information table, a book sales table (with all our latest books) and lots of friendly poets from our community wanting to welcome you to our meeting.
