This Saturday NOV 15 from 5:30pm is 'Slow Lane' — a curated #poetry reading at Coral Street Art Space in Victor Harbor. Featuring Steve Brock, Olivia De Zilva, myself & Tyler Jackson, who's put this whole show together. Tix $5 at the link: square.link/u/OSXrT1RC

Next Thursday morning (23rd October) myself and Val Braendler will be featuring at the Edwards Crossing Writers Group open mic #poetry event in Murray Bridge, in our roles as co-editors of this year's FRIENDLY STREET POETS anthology. MC extraordinaire Nigel Ford will be hosting.

Great fun to spend a Saturday afternoon @SpokenWord_SA hearing some excellent variations on nature #poetry this past weekend. Chuffed that my tangential take on 'human nature' landed well! Thanks Pam Makin for hosting & Ian Gibbons for his excellent pics! spokenwordsa.com.au/be-natural-poe…
