FSP Anthology 45 on-line poetry submissions – updated

The annual anthology publishes a selection of poems by FSP members. Normally, all original poems read by members of Friendly Street Poets at an official FSP meeting, whether in the city or at a regional centre, are eligible to be selected for publication in the anthology. However, with face to face meetings cancelled for the foreseeable future, obviously this year will be slightly different. Poems submitted at the in-person meetings already held remain eligible, but for (most likely) some months at least, we will be accepting digital submissions.

To submit to our Annual Anthology 45 you must do so here via the Submission Form below.… Click for more

2020 AGM and Call for Nominations for FSP Management Committee

Due to social restrictions operating under the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, FSP will need to run its 2020 AGM in a minimal form on-line. An agenda with attendance and voting forms will be available from Monday 20th April, 2020.

Meanwhile, we are calling for nominations to the FSP Management Committee. Appointments are for 2 years.

FSP City Meetings cancelled until further notice…

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
