State Library Poetry Slam

Post by Bob Pacey » Sun Jan 09, 2011 9:34 pm

Did anyone enter the Poetry Slam this year ? I know Greg North made the finals in 2009 so we reallyneed to Slam the Slammers in 2011.
The purpose in life is to have fun.

Bob,
I believe Geoff Graham was in it this year and Greg too. Other than that I didn't even hear when our local heat was on.

No Bob, it doesn't hold a lot of Kudos amongst Bush Poets. Too much 'Modern' Poetry, language and other content not conducive to our form of Poetry. I performed at the Melbourne Comedy Festival once and would never go back. Leave that style for those who want to be extreme, I say.
More than happy with where Bush Poetry is going at present.
