this reading night is the second in an ongoing series at backhaus, inviting people to share work around a theme. the series is aimed at shy writers in particular ~ anyone with half-finished poems in their notes app, any group chat essayists, anyone with a head full of opening sentences but nowhere to put them, etc. the texts shared can be anything from complete poems and paragraphs of novels, to snippets of song lyrics and u-bahn graffiti.
please join us thursday 10th october for an evening of πΆπ―π©πͺπ―π¨π¦π₯ readings κ© any and all interpretations of the theme welcome. (mis)adventures in [un]hinge[d] dating? reflections on a wet hot summer? spirals down the plughole of this freaky city? musings on the small/big things that unravel you? or the absurdity of all the above, when the world is falling off its axis. fact or fiction, personal or political, poem or polemic, bring whatever you got. it can be your own work or simply words you love ~ provided itβs kinda unhinged in form or content.
the first half of the night will be dedicated to registered readers, the second half will be open mic. if you would definitely like space and time to read, please reach out to Madeleine (@madeleine.pollard) in advance. first time writers/readers encouraged κ¨
