Boom Bam Another Poetry Slam

The Australian Poetry Slam 08 returns to Orange after being a wild tonque twisting, word flinging success for performers and audience alike last year. Host Miles Merrill returns for two heats in the Central West.

Macquarie Regional Library, Dubbo Saturday 13 September at 2.30pm

Orange City Library, Orange Thursday 18 September at 6.30pm.

We are looking for poets, hip hop artists, storytellers and other outspoken wordsmiths to speak, scream, howl or whisper or sing your original poem, rhyme, rap or story. Performers can sign up from 30 mins before the start and have 2 minutes at the microphone to impress the judges. Be in the audience to have a chance of picked as a judge (the trick is to catch the frisbee). It is an electric live event and entertainment plus. Two winners from the Orange heat will win Sydney flights and accommodation courtesy of Orange Regional Arts Foundation to be able to attend the State Final at the State Library of NSW on Friday 21 November. Come along or be part of it. For more information call the Central West Writers' Centre on 6393 8125 or go to State Library of NSW website http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/poetryslam/index.html

See you at the Poetry Slam - can't wait!
