Hello me dears
Tomorrow night (friday) is Sospeso Readings. It's gonna be a great night, with Tiggy Johnson bringing you a taste of her new poetry collection "First Taste", and Anna Fern cooking up some spoken word with an amuse-bouche of sound poetry.
It will be the last of Sospeso Readings, so it would be great to see you there, just one more time, being warmed by the heat of words on a miserable winter night.
It's an open theme this time round, so bring along a poem for the open mic, there might be a prize in it for you.
Best

The Last Ever Sospeso Readings
We've got an awesome pair of features coming at you on the 2nd of July at Caffe Sospeso, 428 Burwood Road, Hawthorn.
Anna Fern will be bringing her spoken word sound poetry thang to the cafe. She's fascinating to see, there's nothing else quite like it in town. You absolutely must catch her the second you get the chance (which would be next week, yes?).
Tiggy Johnson will be showing off her new collection "First Taste" in a kind of pre-launch celebration of her book. Her poems have been said to be "earthly and ravishing", and are certainly worth a sneak peek.
If you're wondering about the title, yes, this will be the last Sospeso Reading. The readings have run for over a year, which I reckon is a pretty good run given that it was originallly concieved as just one or two events at the end of a Cafe Poet residency. Now I'd like to move on to other projects.
Thanks to all those fantastic people who featured, MCed, open miced, and just came to listen, you've made running an event great fun.
With all this in mind I think it's nice if the open mic is open themed for this one last time, so bring your favourite gear and share it around.

Rhys Rodgers, Poetry Idol to be
Rhys Rodgers, our next feature poet has made it into the Poetry Idol finals! Clearly he is awesome stuff.
He's new to Melbs so maybe, perhaps, you haven't seen him being a poet around town yet. You poor thing. To remedy this, check out his blog. You'll feel better in no time.
