Description:
With LMFF in full swing, the Wheeler Centre is holding an event to collectively ponder poetry 'in fashion' and poetry IN fashion. What does this mean, we wonder. Pants in iambic pentameter? Onomatopoeia on the catwalk? Oh, the possibilities. Designers Zoe Sandow and Jessica Yorsten will join forces with poets EZB, Sean M Whelan and Alicia Sometimes to panel the discussion, including the launch of Australia's first ever poetry-fashion collaboration A Stitch in Rhyme.

Description:
Carlton's Wordplay is something special. It's a monthly spoken word night, but before you think about those hippy-run open mics up and down Sydney Rd, know that the pretty well respected Geoff Lemon is the organiser. He plans to book hip hop MCs alongside comedians, writers, and poets to make one cohesive night that ‘attempts to repair poetry's image.
Event: Performance
Stimulus: Ideas
Corpoetics
Mission statements - every company worth their salt has one. You know, the paragraph that sums up exactly what your business is about, what you believe in, what makes you so damn special. So anyway, this Nick Asbury fellow, he took the words from a bunch of ‘corporate overviews', and reworked them into funny little poems called ‘Corpoetics'.

After doing a roaring trade on the first issue, and having some time to dream up new material, A Cloth-Covered Button has returned. The second issue of this spicy fashion rag will launch on Sunday with a chocolate box of performers. Some are pencilled in - some are penned - but even if a third of the people who promise to show up actually do, there'll be enough local talent to fill a scout hall.

The Narrow Road to the Deep North and other Travel Sketches by Matsuo Basho
Spring is the perfect time to put away Moby Dick and go back to the classic works of Japanese haiku-master Matsuo Basho. Spring needs no florid Shakespearean drivel, no extended Biblical metaphors, no tricky rhetorical devices. It is a time best spent outdoors beneath the cherry, not curled away trying to make sense of Ahab's puzzled mutterings.
