Bardroom recommends -- TONIGHT Saturday 03 November 7:30pm
Andrew
Hi All,
File this in the “Very Last Minute – Bardroom Recommends!” file. Here is an event tonight (Saturday 03 November 2012) from 7:30 pm which we just can’t help suggesting you attend!
Michelle Dicinoski is an Australian poet and non-fiction writer. Her first book, the poetry collection Electricity for Beginners (Clouds of Magellan) was highly commended in the 2011 Anne Elder Award. Her second book, the memoir Ghost Wife, will be published by Black Inc. in 2013. Michelle’s poems and creative non-fiction have appeared in journals, newspapers, and anthologies including The Best Australian Poems, The Australian Literary Review, and Meanjin. She is the recipient of a Marten Bequest Travelling Scholarship in 2012-2013, which will enable her to present her poetry and undertake residencies in Europe, New Zealand, and the United States.
Michelle is going to give a performance from her work at a meeting of a local Writers Group tonight!
The Pestaside Writers Group has been present in Budapest since the demise of the Communist state. It is an English-language multinational and multi-disciplinary group incorporating poets, prose authors, playwrights and visual artists who provide each other with inspiration and feedback in an informal environment. In the past, the group as a whole or members thereof have been involved in theatrical productions at a number of venues including the Edinburgh Fringe; exhibitions; BBC radio plays; 'Apocalypse Cow', a book that was joint winner of the Terry Pratchet 'Anywhere But Here, Anywhen But Now' prize; and a history book on buttons.
A few members of this Writers Group will also share some of their work in progress, and the host will also give a short presentation on a great new option in self-publishing online, which writerly and other types will surely love to hear about.
All in all it’s a great, offbeat and very authentic literary evening, now being opened to the public, free of charge!
The event will take place at David Rudel's place.
Address: 1111 Budapest, Lágymányosi utca 5
(in the XI. District).
The buzzer is #23, the name on it is "Del Vescio".
This is about four blocks up from the Gellért
Hotel, just a few steps to the left off the main Bartók Béla út, easily
accessible by the regular #7 bus (coming from the Pest side you can get off at
the stop which is the one after the Gellért hotel and just before Móricz
Zsigmond körtér – it’s that stop you’ve never had any reason to get off at
before sandwiched between the two more known ones).
For more info or if you get lost, which isn’t likely of course, please call
Bardroom co-host Kálmán Farago at +36 20 239 0212.
Even though it’s only being opened to the
public at the last minute like this, this is a certified Bardroom-quality
literary evening sure to please. So we can certainly recommend that you do step
out for this unique event, a chance to shake off your unexpected
post-Halloween alienation, odd displacement and re-engulfing ennui, meet local writers in their own environment (most of them don’t bite!)
and enjoy the full-length reading of Michelle Dicinoski, a rising
literary light, here in town for only one night as part of her regional tour!
We hope to see you there!
