NEWS
The first literary magazine
from wordsinhere can now be held in your own hands. Look
for it in bookstores around the Netherlands in January or order
your copy through our old-school
ordering process, for €8.
Versal includes the
writing of Amatoritsero Ede, Daniel Godston, Amy Jackson, Uche Nduka,
Sue-Ann Post, and Matt Sadler; the art of Boaz Sarfatty, Simon Wald-Lasowski,
and Rinatu; and the work of poets, writers, and artists from wordsinhere.
Blah blah blah.
(If you're sick of tired literary
magazines, buy Versal.)
Friday, the 20th of December marked the
debut evening of The Open Stanza. Poets Megan Garr, Donald
Gardner, Joke Kaviaar, Paul Evans, Jeremy Keighley, and Prue Duggan
brought words, laughter, and hushed silences to the crowd at Volta.
It was beautiful and a great start to what promises to be many more
fun and inspiring nights. Thanks to everyone who came!
We're looking for poets and writers for
our January 24th installment. If you're interested, please send
samples of your work to openstanza@wordsinhere.com
by the 10th.
CALLS FOR WRITERS
With the realization of wordsinhere's
first projects, it's time to regroup and gather new ideas for the
future — together again for what we've warmly dubbed our umbrella
meeting. It's for anyone interested in the more 'organizational'
aspect of wordsinhere and open to everyone with passion and/or
ideas. We'll discuss the next steps for Versal and The
Open Stanza, new workshops, etc.
It will be held at Meg's flat in Amsterdam
on Sunday, 2 February at 3pm. If you are interested in attending
this 'umbrella' meeting, or would like to find out how you can get
involved, email Meg.
