Sorry about the late notice. I’ve been completely flat out trying to get my first ever zine ready for the fair this weekend. The night before the fair, this Friday, is a special poetry slam happening as part of the ACT Writers Centre’s SCRIBBLE: Young Writers, Young Readers festival.

There’s no cover charge for this slam so if you’ve got friends who you want to introduce to poetry slams, this is the night to drag them along!

We will have a smorgsbord of wonderful prizes, including copies of Block and First creative writing journals, Voiceworks magazines, novels from the ACT Writers Centre and a copy of your favourite poem printed on high-quality art stock paper by The Artworks… and that’s just to begin with!

Here’re the details for both of this weekend’s events:

Scribble Poetry Slam
Friday 6 February
7.30pm – 9.30pm
Bogong Theatre, Gorman House Arts Centre, Ainslie Ave, Braddon

Canberra Zine Fair
Saturday 7 February

See you there!
