An idea for a poetry outing in November: The Victorian Final of the Poetry Slam competition. The two top poets will go to the Sydney Opera House for the final for the chance to win the prize of $5,000. The audience decides who wins. I will phone to see how far in advance we need to book. If anyone is interested in competing, I think you have to qualify through the local rounds. There is one in Mornington, which might be the closest to us. Here is the website address: http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/programs/literary/poetry_slam/

Patti Smith & Philip Glass: Dedicated to Allen Ginsberg $75 / $56.25 / $25 / $67.50 groups 8+ WINE & DINE PACKAGES $7 / $25
13 October 2008Two friends come together for a rare and intimate evening of piano and poetry inspired by their passion for the work of seminal beat poet, the late Allen Ginsberg.
I have just noticed it tells you everything but WHERE. I will check my email and get back with the details.
When I checked for detail found more info. The time of show is 8.00pm and location is The Playhouse at the Arts Centre.
Two friends come together for a rare and intimate evening of piano and poetry inspired by their passion for the work of seminal beat poet, the late Allen Ginsberg.A friend and mentor to both Patti Smith and Philip Glass, Allen Ginsberg is one of the most influential poets of the 20th century, whose raging verse epitomised the Beat movement in the 1950s. Smith and Glass shepherded Ginsberg through his last rites and, as this event testifies, he remains a strong presence in their lives.
In this moving performance event, Smith reads a selection of Ginsberg's poetry and her own writings about and influenced by him while Philip Glass performs original compositions on solo piano to accompany the poetry.
Smith was a published poet before she ever hit the stage and then, when she did, her early performances were in fact poetry readings with raw musical accompaniment. Along with William Blake, Arthur Rimbaud and William S Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg was a huge creative influence. Smith befriended Ginsberg who had started to explore his own career in music. The two even performed together on occasion. Glass also collaborated closely with the poet on various projects, including the multimedia stage production Hydrogen Jukebox.

Cecilia seemed to be interested in publishing avenues, so I thought I would post a couple of links that might be useful.
This is a list of Australian Literary Journals, print and online.
http://www.trinity.wa.edu.au/plduffyrc/subjects/english/aust/journals.htm
This is an international list of publishers who accept submissions by email.
http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/pbonline.html
This is a site I have only found recently. You have to register, but they provide information about journals from around the world, and compile information on response times and acceptance rates.

working on getting help from Ian to enable you to write in blog.
Okay fellow Coastliners the problem must be solved so that we can have communication between us all. So Ian has put aside tonight to see how to invite you to get on to blog so that you can do a posting and publish on it. Wish us luck.
Good meeting yesterday. Some fairly mad brainstorming. Lots of ideas. Thanks
Cecilia
