Call for Poets for Open Mic:

The 2012 Melville Poetry Festival

(Johannesburg, South Africa)


Date: 12 - 14 October 2012

It’s more than words ... that is the motto of the Melville Poetry Festival this year. Its Festival of the Poetic takes place from 12 to 14 October, and will include everything that is poetic about our lives, from readings to art works with words, and music of all sorts.

All in Seventh Street, the place to be to get your cultural fix.

A programme is being put together under the theme "Festival of the Poetic" and will be available at the website in a few weeks. The idea is to present items of poetry as well those showing an overlap with other genres, especially the visual arts and music. An open mike will accommodate anybody who just wants to pitch up on the day.
