The fantastic Poetry in Motion hosts an event on the first Thursday of every month at Wellington’s Fringe Bar. I’ve been attending as often as I can across the last couple of years. The structure is always the same – open mic starting at 7.30, and after an intermission there’s a feature poet; a guest spot.

The format might always be the same but the content is different. This is the best open-mic going in Wellington that I know about. And the guests are wonderful.

I’m honoured to be the July guest poet. (No pressure!) I’ll be reading poems from my book and newer work too.

It’s $3-$5 on the door. It starts at 7.30. Get there a few minutes earlier to register if you want to read. Bring money to buy copies of my book if you’re keen.

See you there!
