Passionate Tongues has been a regular fixture of the Melbourne poetry scene and the Brunswick area. From the Retreat Hotel’s less glamorous days to other bars with renewed reputations, this reading has been convened by Michael Reynolds with absolute dedication for the best part of a decade. Put your name down for the open mic and buy some raffle tickets to be in the running for the record collection from hell…

Oh and smile, you may just be photographed by Michael, Melbourne poetry’s de facto photographer.

Suitably for Passionate Tongues, we feature Kerryn Tredrea (Adel), GM Walker (Adel) and Mel Hughes from Paroxysm Press and the author of ‘controversial’ chapbook Love and fuck poems, Koraly Dimitriadis, accompanied by contrabassist Nick Tsiavos.
