Perc.U.lations - 12th of August, 2023

  • Kafe on Hemmings 85 Hemmings St (map)

Featuring Gerard Lewis-Fitzgerald

"Hi. I'm Gerard, from Geelong.
I like four-legged cats more than biped Pussies kicking behinds.
Don't talk sport with me. I will retaliate with poison.
At four, I poisoned our chooks.
Another poet introduced me thus:
"We have poets writing about anxiety, making astute observations about social issues … and then there's Gerard"!
Apart from poetry, I love doing theatre. I get to meet audiences after the show to check out THEIR talents.
Published only alongside other poets in anthologies.
I paint and occasionally write a song.
I shall force you to hear one today."

An open mic is available for as many poets as we can squeeze in before and after our feature. This gig will celebrate young poets (the Little Aesthetics program for anyone 12 and under) as well as people who read the works of other poets (the Rhetorical Recreation Society). If you have work you would like other people to present, you will always find cheerful readers as well.
The venue for Perc.u.lations is the wonderfully generous Kafé on Hemmings (86 Hemmings St), in Dandenong. about a 15-minute walk from either Dandenong or Yarraman train stations. There is also handy, free parking available behind the medical centre on the opposite corner.
Perc.u.lations is taking place on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation. Sovereignty was never ceded and we extend our respects to Indigenous elders past, present, and emerging.
This event is ticketed using ‘Pay as you Feel’ via Eventbrite, as the Kafé will continue serving the general public, and closing off the area isn't feasible. This way even walk-in traffic can contribute.
Perc.u.lations is affiliated with Radio Laria and its poets. 50% or more of all features throughout the year will be women, however, men are also encouraged to apply to this event and the open mic is open to anyone.
