Event Description

Poetry Night 10th July, 7pm.

This month will be hosted by Adrian Wiggins from Sydney Poetry and will feature Adam Aitken and Lindsay Tuggle.

Adam Aitken
Adam is a local Glebe poet who just returned from the Nancy Keesing Studio in Paris. He's read poetry in festivals and events in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and in Hawai'i, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and in New Zealand. A well-known contender for books prizes and anthologies, his last two books are Eighth Habitation and Tonto's Revenge. He is now between jobs and completing a memoir.

Lindsay Tuggle
Lindsay’s poetry has been published in literary journals such as HEAT, Mascara, and Contrappasso. Her work has been commissioned by the Red Room Company, and included in anthologies in the US and Australia. In 2009, she was awarded second prize in the Val Vallis Award for Poetry. In August 2012, she will take up a postdoctoral fellowship at the Library of Congress.

Come and have some fun, read or just listen -- all poetry is good for the soul. Hope to see you there!

To read your work in the open mic reading, just turn up on the night and put your name on the list. It must be your own work and is time limited to 2mins so we can fit everyone in.
The wine and tapas bar will be open so you can have a meal and glass of wine while you're there if you fancy it. The Soup season at Sappho is in full swing so there will always be a hearty hot homemade soup available.

Starts at 7.00 pm in the garden at Sappho's wine and Tapas bar. Great food, great poetry! Look forward to seeing you all there.
