18 SEP: Open Mike, if the Moon is open

The Moon are hoping to reopen on 18 September but may not be... depends how things go... so we haven't booked any guests. If the doors are open Perth Poetry Club will be there to test the new facilities, from 2-4pm with OPEN MIKE. Bring words.

If not... we'll be, in true Perth fashion, curled up safe at home, in bed with Charles Bukowski



11 SEP: THE MOON IS CLOSED - NO GIG

The Moon is closing for some much-needed maintenance (we can guess which areas are being fixed, hehe), so there will be no Perth Poetry Club on 11 September. Check Perth Poetry Links if you're looking for some poetry...

4 Sep 2010: Conscious: SUE CLENNELL, PHIL McNAMARA

It's National Poetry Week, when everything in Australian poetry happens at once. And Perth Poetry Club is making it even worse with two more WA Poetry Festival guest poets -- conscious dresser SUE CLENNELL and Rockingham philosopher PHIL McNAMARA. Saturday 4 September, 2-4pm, at The Moon, 323 William Street, Northbridge. Plus open mic. Professional sound. In the mood-enhancing Moon back room.

28 Aug 2010. What is Australian? We don't know, either. But we've got FOUR GUEST POETS and a ZINE LAUNCH

Perth Poetry Club on 28 August is a special MEGA-GIG as part of the WA [Spring] Poetry Festival, with four festival guests: interstate poets MEG MOONEY and CHRIS MANSELL, local talent ROLAND LEACH, and, especially transported from Kalgoorlie, CORAL CARTER, reading work by a selection of her favourite female poets.

Plus (with any luck) we'll launch Perth Poetry Club's second zine, showcasing the diverse and fabulous words of just over a year of weekly open mike.

2-4pm at The Moon, 323 William Street, Northbridge.

21 Aug 2010: ANTIPOET aka Allan Boyd

We've dragged him into town from the outer suburbs to perform for you... on a short break from tree planting, movie-starring, rocking, facebooking, web design, activism, parenting and teaching at some university or other... the one and only ANTIPOET! AKA allan boyd. 2-4pm Saturday 21 August at The Moon, 323 William St, Northbridge. Plus open mike. There will be two bursts of boydtext, one in each half, so those who insist on rocking up halfway thru will miss half the action.

14 Aug 2010: ANDY JACKSON (Melbourne)

We have an interstate guest! On Saturday 14 August 2010 Perth Poetry Club presents KSP's current writer-in-residence, ANDY JACKSON. Expect a dynamic reading of engaging, human poetry.
