Overload Poetry Festival: 4-13 September
Overload Poetry Festival continues until Sunday 13 September.
Discover the (un)common tongue at the 8th annual Overload Poetry Festival from 4–13 September.
The festival spans 10 days showcasing all forms of poetry – from slammers to sound poets, with a particular emphasis on spoken word.
The festival launches at 6.30pm, 4 September, at the Fitzroy Town Hall. There'll be (short) speeches, a tribute to the late Dorothy Porter and a not-to-be-missed performance from The Heart Chamber: a chorus of poets Matt Hetherington, Lia Hills, Tom Joyce, Michelle Leber and Marian Spires.
