Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 9 February, 2020
It was the first session for 2020 – Poetry At The Fringe – and it was the quietest I’ve been to. A nice day in early February means many people will be any place where indoors poetry is not. Also it was a change in the schedule, a week or two earlier than normal due […]Archive

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. It was a fantastic line-up. Maybe the best open-mic run of the year. […]Archive

Back to The Fringe for some poetry. It was about celebrating Spring, though I either didn’t really process that or didn’t really care (and/or don’t have any Spring poems anyway). So I got up early, second poet this time, and read three short new poems. The first, Stuff, Not Nonsense I wrote late on Friday […]Archive

Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 17 March, 2019
You never know when something special is going to happen. We’re lucky to have too many events and moments of entertainment and distraction, we cannot possibly get to a fraction of them – so how would we know about all the special things we are missing. And the horrific slaughter in Christchurch just this past […]Archive
