Radio Laria Poetry with Jag and Nadia Rhook

Radio Laria is a community collective for poets, writers and storytellers to gather, be heard and inspire one another.  We are celebrating the Sonic Poetry Festival by featuring two inspiring women from the Melbourne poetry scene: Nadia Rhook and Jag.  Nadia is the author of two outstanding poetry collections: “Boots” and “Second Fleet Baby.”  She has recently returned from Perth to live in Melbourne and we're thrilled to have her back.  Jag is a genre bending spoken word artist, musician and theatre maker who both channels a variety of characters or simply performs as herself.

Doors open 7pm and the live poetry kicks off at 7:30

We are also looking forward to the open mic where poets, storytellers and writers of all kinds are encouraged to share their work. All genders are welcome to read, sign up on the night, 10 slots available and a 5 minute limit. The audience is very supportive and we welcome new readers. Come along and join this warm, vibrant poetry community and don't forget about Open Studio's yummy crepes!

Fotoula Reynolds was originally meant to be featuring, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she has had to postpone.  We wish Fotoula all the best and we WILL reschedule her for another night, another time...
