And if you want to see up close what kind of endearingly depraved lovers poets can be, come to Glitch Bar and Cinema in Nth Fitzroy on Sunday night to see ‘This Sickness’. Part of the Overload Poetry Festival’s ‘But . . . Is It Poetry?’ series.
‘This Sickness’ is a poetic performance created by Carmen Main and Steve Smart. The poems explore the things we do to each other in the name of love and sex, that you aren’t supposed to talk about in polite company. Bringing the filth and the fury back to poetry. Where they belong.
May I offer myself as the exception which prooves the rule.
Surely it all depends on how we define ‘better’?
and on how we define ‘make’.
And what exactly is meant by ‘lovers’?
That cover is a spoonerism. Lovers make better poets.
or for another remix: better make poets lovers
If you guys keep going on like this my wife isn’t going to let be go to this thing. Shoosh.
‘catastrophe, who are these non-poets, shhhh’ You’ll hear that a lot.
