Subscriberthon Day 3 – One for the poets


As many of you may know, on Wednesdays, we let Overland editor Jeff Sparrow out of the office and onto the airwaves of 102.7 FM 3RRR, where he talks all things poetic and literary with the distinguished alicia sometimes.

In celebration of this fact, Day 3 of Subscriberthon is dedicated to the poets, and the RRR devotees.

But first, let’s hear from Josh Healy, with ‘Queer Intifada’:

The daily prizes for Wednesday 24 November are:

The GDS pack
The last 6 issues of experimental journal Going Down Swinging, No. 25–30.

The small poetry press prize
An outstanding range of poetry collections from Picaro Press.

The other writings of poets prize
A collection of books from poets working in other forms: Roberta Lowing’s Notorious, Ouyang Yu’s The English Class, John Kinsella & Robert Drewe’s Sand and an anthology of the work of Vicki Viidikas, New and Rediscovered.

Plus a $50 Readings gift voucher!

And a special RRR prize crammed with RRR merchandise for someone who subscribes when Aural Text is on (between 12 and 2pm today).

I know you’re keen to head over to the subscribe page (a mere $40 conc and $54 full), but first, check out Emily Zoe Baker – ‘Fannyism’:
