Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 15 December, 2019
For the final session of Poetry at the Fringe for 2019 it was all open-mic, no special guests – no music, no theme – it was all about the regular attendees, with, as always, a few first-timers or long-time watchers, first-time readers.

And the horrific slaughter in Christchurch just this past […]Archive
