Short Listed!
I entered the Oxford International Women’s Festival Poetry Competition – the theme was Women and Well-Being. After checking that it was allowed to enter stuff already live on the blog I entered three poems. I would have entered more and the best poem I had for the subject matter had to be pulled due to number of lines! i.e. I was well over the max line count!
One of poems has been short listed so I get to go to the Prize giving on Wednesday 17th of November 2010 at the East Oxford Community Center 7pm – 10pm. Tickets are £4 on the door. I will be performing my poem which as I’m pregnant and on crutches should be a sight to see in itself :/ There is also an open mic and the guest poets. To read in the open mic section I believe you have to let the people running the event know – for details go here.
The Guest performers are:
Joan Barbara Simon
Kimberly Menozzi
Charlotte Geater
Ellie Tranter
Christi Warner
