Poetry Live wrapped up on the 8th of December with the Superhero Poetry Slam and guest poet Peter Larsen.  We farewelled Renee Liang, who has been part of the Poetry Live team since 2006 by making her dress up in leathers and threaten slam competitors with a whip.  


Next year, we welcome Rachael Heimann and Penny Somervaille to the Poetry Live team.  Rachael will be organising and MCing the second Tuesday of each month and Penny will be doing the third Tuesday of each month.  I am stepping back my involvement slightly and will be MCing only the fifth Tuesdays of the month and filling in for the other MCs when they need it.  


If you would like to put yourself forward for a guest performer spot in 2010, you can contact all of the MCs via the Poetry Live email: poetrylive@gmail.com.  


I have almost finished the first draft of Live Lines III and we sent out proofs to most of the contributors yesterday.  Our planned launch date of March 30th is looking more and more feasible.  


We will be back on February the 2nd, same time, same place - as Murray Lee would say "be there or be an oblong"


Happy new year to you all - may it bring much new inspiration.
