May 26th – June 5th in Melbourne – catch a number of published Paroxysm Press authors including Teri Louise Kelly, Shane Jesse Christmass, Ryan Paine, James Andre and of course festival director, Lisa Dempster. See the website for details of the massive program.
Damn Paroxysm people – hell of a couple of months coming up.
Catch Kerryn Tredrea, Matthew Smith and Daniel Watson doin’ a quick reading down Rundle Mall this Friday 11th @ 7pm to plug the Fringe. Kerryn then overnights to Melbourne to do two cities in two days at the Melbourne ABJ book launch. And so on the Sat 12th Paroxysm does Melbourne and Adelaide at the same time, threesome style!
Then before we can draw a breath – the very next weekend sees the start of the 3 week Paroxysm Adelaide Fringe run (see previous posts)

Oxford English spellings (colour not color etc). Double quotation marks for dialogue. Single quotation marks for quotes and ‘stressed’ words. Otherwise, refer to the Oxford style manual.

If you think that you can hurl literary lightning bolts, we want to read you.
One hundred writers, one hundred outstanding flashes of brilliant plasma – each captured in the mason jar of this volume.
From the editor: ‘I am the lightning collector. The lid is off the jar. Come thee and fork lightning…’
Kerryn Tredrea, Matthew Smith and Daniel Watson will be taking to the mic between punk bands for some rapid ‘between the eyes’ spoken word this weekend. First bands on at 8 sharp. Whole gig wrapped up by 11.30. All ages.

1. Kami performs sober @ Wordfire (no – really)
The May Wordfire was off so everyone could rest up post Fringe but it returns this Monday the 4th of June at the Crown and Sceptre, Adelaide featuring non other than our own Kami (plus numerous other guests). And yes – you read it correctly – he plans to take the stage sober! That alone makes this a historical event.
2. New national poetry slam
Tons more news to come on this one soon but a new individual poetry slam will be contested nationally. First state heats, state finals and then the national final. Generally organised through the state libraries each state will have one poet organiser and one library based organiser. The SA poet will be none other than Paroxysm publisher Daniel Watson. Also very happy to announce the WA poet will be the renowned troublemaker Allan Boyd (much applause and chanting of Boydy – Boydy etc)
3. Croak & Grist draws ever closer
And damn is it good. The cover was enough to require a change of pants and the content is even better. Anyone who has read the stories from Shane Jesse Christamass and Hop Dac in Waste and Shotgun simply cannot afford to miss this one. It’s looking likely to be launched around the July/Aug period in both Melbourne and Adelaide plus look out for a possible National Young Writers’ Festival, Newcastle appearance.
