Saturday 4th July, Mary Wight (UK) & Hamish Danks Brown (Vic) + open-mike! VIA ZOOM

This Saturday 4th July we have two wonderful poets Mary Wight (UK) and Hamish Danks Brown (Vic) + open-mike VIA ZOOM.

We apologise we are not at the Moon Café but we will be via ZOOM.

The Zoom session is on Saturday, 4th July 2:00pm to 4:00pm Perth Aus WST (GMT+8hrs).

Mary Wight lives in the Scottish Borders. She has worked previously as a counselling therapist, also a librarian, and holds an MSc in Creative Writing from the University of Edinburgh. Her poetry has appeared in anthologies and journals, including The Honest Ulsterman, Ink, Sweat & Tears, Causeway/Cabhsair, New Writing Scotland, Firth, Envoi and The Rialto. She has yet to publish a pamphlet or collection.

Hamish Danks Brown, a.k.a. Danksta Downunder, (1957-?) is originally from Sydney but moved to Melbourne in 2016 after overseas travels and over a decade in Queensland caring for his parents. He is on the committee of the Melbourne Poets Union and convenes open mic events Spoken Word at Bar Oussou and Posty Poetry. He has published 2 chapbooks All Other Destinations and The Broken Candle as well as in journals and anthologies here and abroad, and performed in numerous events in Australia, USA, Canada, England, France, Turkey and Singapore. A direct reincarnation of American eccentric Joe Gould (1889-1957), he currently dwells in the St Kilda area and belongs to Roy the Cat.

You will have to wait for Zoom to do its thing. Be patient. You might be told that the meeting hasn’t started (just wait for the Host to let you in); and when you join in, Zoom will ask you whether to have Video on or off. You need to be patient. It may not work straight away. Try again. If that fails email Elio on eliopoet@gmail.com
