It's official; I've been formally invited to take part in 100 Poets. This event is to celebrate the Rugby League World Cup and takes place at the Carnegie Stadium prior to the game between New Zealand and Papua, New Guinea on 8th November.
The programme last for around 30 minutes and includes performances of well-known poems and our own work on topics of Physicality, Victory/Defeat, New Anthems (each poet will receive an individual commission for a specific nation) and Home.
All participating poets have been told to 'dress a little showily...' so it's out with the hat and on with my Inner Muse...
This will be the first time I've performed poetry in front of an audience in more than two years, and this is a much bigger event. Whether or not we'll get much appreciation is NOT THE POINT; it's a chance to be part of a World Event and put myself out there, instead of staying quietly in here in the warm.
Better go; I've several poems to write...
