The Raggamuffin Collective

Ever looked in a well-respected poetry journal and been disappointed at the quality of the poetry published? Been suspicious that they were just publishing the work of famous poets or their friends? That's what I was like when I got my first issue of Poetry magazine, having subscribed for 12 months.So I decided to start my own journal and publish good poetry, with no reference to the poet in the judging process. It was very fun!Why don't you join me in editing? If involves taking turns in…See More

Hi Adrian,
thanks for the invite and congrats on the new bub. This is in your house, no? What a cool idea! Can't go out and see the poetry so bring it to your loungeroom. I'd love to come, but I'm living in Sri Lanka at the moment which makes it a bit tricky. Like the site too - looking forward to ahvign a poke around it
Cheers

My energies promoting poetry are already expended via my Immersants meetup group which favours a breakdown in the performer-audience divide. As such I welcomed the Auburn poets collaboration with the Rookwood Cemetary sculpture tour/exhibition, Slam Poetry, Laurie Anderson, open-mic events, and incorporating snippets of poetry written real-time by "audience members" into my VJ'ing.
