The next Openned Poetry Reading (Land for Lajee Fundraiser) is on the 6th of October. Confirmed poets so far are:

Sean Bonney, Sophie Robinson, Harry Gilonis, Josh Stanley, Jow Lindsay, Tim Atkins, Nat Raha, Michael Zand, with more T.B.A

A flyer is in production at the moment but in the mean time for more information check the Openned Poetry Facebook Event.

The poet Cathy Wagner suggested I read the blog body on the line. It is a very interesting blog written by an academic Marcy Newman who teaches at An Najah University in Nablus. Recently she posted a very interesting post about the Academic Boycott of Israeli Universities which is worth a read. Also she also posted up videos from the Palestine Festival Of Literature 2009 which I thought might be of interest.
