The naughty folder

My cafe Nova poetry cards for the tables

Today was my second week at Cafe Nova where I am poet in residence. Once again I wrote some poems to go on each of the tables and Jen (the manager) and I started work on the ‘poets corner’.

Back of my Cafe Nova cards

I put up three tasteful poems and I will also soon have a poets mailbox where people can write to me using poetry and I will respond to them with poetry and put my response up on my poets wall. Today we also introduced a new concept called the ‘naughty folder’ which can only be viewed when you specifically go up to the counter and ask for it. I have decided(and I hope to stick to this) that I won’t be posting much new poetry on my blog anymore because I have heaps of poems on my blog. I may do the occasional one here and there but I’d like to showcase my new poems in the cafe. Most of them will probably be in the naughty folder which will include poems which have words like ‘wog’ in them or sexual poems (which are most of my poems!) and the others will be put up on the wall in the poets corner. I hope to finish my poets corner display next week when I go into the cafe and I’ll take some photos and post them on my blog. If you are ever in at cafe nova ask for my naughty folder! I’ll be at cafe nova again next Wednesday from 11-12 (or any other time I decide to pop in) but in the meantime, I will be performing this Friday:

at Polyester Bookshop this Friday the 13th(owww)

as part of Little Raven’s night of erotic writing.

It’s at 7:30pm at 330 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy and there is a great lineup.

So come along if you have time. Hope to see you there!
