N E W S : Poets from the North . East . West . South; poetry with new directions.

The program is a collaborative venture that utilises innovations in communications, language, the capacities, and resources of Macquarie University and The Knox Street Bar. Rooted in mutual respect and openness, these partnerships have been roundly embraced by the curatorial team responsible for each of the compass events.

The events are staged in a live streaming venue, Knox.live, at the Knox Street Bar in Chippendale. Curated by Dr Michelle Hamadache, Department of Media, Communications, Creative Arts, Literature and Language, Macquarie University.

Ambitious in scope, engaging in diverse media poetry from performance, video poetry and animation. The events in equal parts will stage provocative and playful work that challenges and emotionally resonates.

Each event will be held live at Knox.live and also live-streamed.

There is a special 2 for 1 $20 tickets.
Please note that venue capacity is limited and preticket sales is recommended.
