Two days of poetics at Footscray Community Arts Centre with Anis Mojani & Buddy Wakefield live plus screening of the film Zajal - The Art of Poetic Duel

Heads-up Melbourne! Sept 7: Luka Lesson's EXIT album launch & fundraiser for refugee advocacy group Welcome To Australia

A set of favourites, focus on Africa, ranging afar ... spoken word and poetry in French and English from Africa, France, Nederlands, Canada, Australia. For both the rabbit and the lion – the lion may be fierce but the rabbit has fierce skill!

I wasn't planning to make much of this set here, but events of this week have made me feel it's important to honour the powerful women in my life.
