YOUR LAST CHANCE FOR THE 2026 EDITION.
Paroxysm Press are at it again!
They want your short, sharp pieces of literature to enter their hand crafted little zine. Come along and read your little word bombs, listen to your fellow terrorists and participate in the SECOND publication birthed exclusively from our spokenslurred mic.
Spoke N Slurred – The Zine will be a small (A5) old school zine publication. It will be photocopied. Short and sharp will get our attention.
Paroxysm Press is a publisher that for nearly 30 years has been too stubborn to die. They want to publish you.
Come along to this open mic and leave a hard copy of your poem(s) to be considered for a limited edition zine that will be launched in November. That gives you 3 opportunities to submit. Poems can be printed, hand written or sent through messenger.
If you can throw down a sketch or 2 on the night they will also be considered.
The theme is PAROXYSM*
So dig deep, look at the hard stuff, find the next level down. Then tell us why you’re still here.
Content Warning: Most Poetry Slams and literary events are all ages and some content may not be suitable for children. Performances may include strong language and / or adult themes.
