This Saturday 9th July at The Moon Café, Perth Poetry Club has two exciting features - the Ethel Webb Blundell Poetry Award poems and poets, and Nigel de Bussy.
This Saturday we have Alex Biddle and Charmaine Landwehr as our feature poets.
Alex Biddle (left pictured) currently has six girlfriends, seven boyfriends, three non-binary partners and 72 Ferrari's. Since her last feature performing at the Moon, Alex now have seventeen traffic cones which is one less than their age. Alex is also known as a "gender fluid superstar" but mostly just called “Biddle”. Alex was our youngest feature at Perth Poetry Club, and in their words “They do poetry sometimes and it’s alright I guess.” Alex’s poetry certainly is alright.
This Saturday 25th June 2016, we have two great features by name of Becky Monks and Geoff Spencer.
Becky Monks is a 21-year-old performance poet and postgraduate Medical student at UWA, with a degree in German and 40 grand’s worth of HECS debt.
