Poetry Open Mic

The Undercurrent presents the Poetry Open Mic!

Local poets take over the mic, MCed by Tim Jones! Register at the door and please prepare 2 poems; you may be able to read both. Following this, the Earl of Seacliff will stop at the Undercurrent on his Farewell World Tour.

The Earl (Michael O’Leary to his Paekakariki mates) will read from his collected works, published last year. How he can write poetry dense with surreal and avantgarde word play, while completely rooted in the earthy, messy reality of daily life, is something for an eager phd student to discern sometime in the distant future. The Earl will be drawing from 50 years of poetic endeavour.
