Adelaide Poets Collective – celebrating 50 years in 2025
Due to the current restrictions associated with the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, the deadline for submissions to New Poets 21 has been extended to 1st May 2020.
A date for the launch will be announced when more is known…
The Box Factory, where FSP has its City Open Mic meetings, has wisely closed for the foreseeable future to minimise risk of transmitting the coronavirus COVID-19. This means we have no choice but to suspend FSP City Meetings until further notice.
The arts community in general as well as the SA writing community in particular is mobilising in many different ways to try to maintain as much activity as possible, mostly on-line, to keep our productivity and community engagement alive.
There are many on-line groups popping up and over the next little while, a range of new opportunities will emerge.… Click for more
The next city meeting of FSP was due for Monday 6th April and was to include the AGM and launch of the latest FSP Anthology. Because of the coronavirus covid-19 pandemic and the conditions required to mitigate its spread, this meeting will not be held.
We are looking at ways of running a minimal AGM on-line to meet our statuary requirements.
It is totally unknown at the moment when it will be safe to have face-to-face meetings again.
Stay tuned for more details soon … and keep healthy!
