That Poetry Thing: Alice Allan (VIC) and Miranda Lello (ACT) + Open Mic!
7pm Monday 13 July
Smith’s Alternative ACT
entry: $10 / $5
Join That Poetry Thing to hear a performance by visiting writer and podcaster Alice Allan (VIC) as well as local legend Miranda Lello, who is returning from hiatus to share poetry at Smith's once more. Plus an Open Mic!
About the feature poets:
Alice Allan produced the long-running podcast Poetry Says. Her debut collection "The Empty Show" was shortlisted for the Anne Elder Award. Her work has appeared in HEAT, Overland, Island, and the Sydney Review of Books. Her website is: aliceallan.net
Miranda Lello was once a regular denizen of the Canberra poetry scene. For many years she performed regularly (sometimes with bells and whistles on) all over town. She launched her first (and only) poetry book under a tree at the National Film and Sound Archive in 2017, but has been lost in space and time in recent years. She is returning from a long hiatus with some new poems, some old poems, and uncollected works.
Sign up on the night for the open mic from 6:30pm with your MC, Merri.
