4 Feb 2012: beauty meets politics: RAYMOND GRENFELL + CHRIS ARNOLD

Submitted by Perth Poetry Club on Thu, 01/26/2012 - 23:56

On 4 February Perth Poetry Club presents two local wielders of the word, Raymond Grenfell and Chris Arnold. If you've been to a poetry slam in Perth lately you'll know both these poets prove that poetry in performance can have layered depths and linguistic originality, and speak urgently about social and environmental issues. And make you want to go read their text, which -- happily -- is frequently published online.

Check them out at Perth Poetry Club, where slams meet sonnets, and beauty meets politics. 2-4pm at The Moon. Everyone's welcome.

Ray's poetry blog, An attempt at humanity through attempted poetry, is at armedpoet.blogspot.com.

Chris's poetry blog, Unhand Me, Villanelle, is at: unhandmevillanelle.wordpress.com
