FRIENDS
We here at Punctum always have a yen for doing stuff and right now the ‘stuff ’ we’re yenning to do is poetry;; yes that’s right,poetry…but not as you know it! We always have a yen to do it with others, and right now we ’re yenning to do it with you.
THE STUFF WE’RE YENNING TO DO
We’re talking about piloting a new model for ‘reading’ that breaks from the passivity of the traditional poet reads audience listensmodel. A model that highlights/harnesses the correlative aspects between poetry and other arts practices and provokes/invitesnew work.
POETRY
We’re talking about poetry as a catalyst for exchange/collaboration between poets, artists and audiences. We’re talking poetry asa springboard, poetry as conversation starter, poetry as pick up line ; we’re talking poetry as any number of approaches andpossible art collaborations – verbal, physical, intellectual, visual, ephemeral, social, political, mechanical, transcendental, musical – where we re-imagine the reading.
YOU
We’re talking about poets and artists. When we say poets we mean poets. When we say artists we mean; tap dancers, flautists,
sculptors, actors, tight rope walkers, animators, kazoo players, installation artists, hip hoppers, percussionists, sound artists,projectionists, painters, calligraphers, aerialists…you get the picture. And when we say you, we mean ‘you’ as in poets andartists together.

A NEW MODEL FOR THE PRESENTATION OF POETRY.
A model that departs from current “reading” practice by movingfrom the passive “poet reads, audience listens” model to one that
will
support creative collaboration and communication between
Australian artists from other disciplines and Australian poets
(with an emphasis on regionally based artists and poets)
and through these collaborations facilitate a more interactive
engagement between Australian poets/poetry and Australian
audiences in the instance of the “reading”.
Broadly speaking, a model that proposes a kind of “Scienceworks”
forum for poetry that at heart seeks to demystify poetry and to
combat negative preconceptions that traditionally prove barriers to
an engagement with poetry.
