Dear poets and poetry lovers,
Due to the flooding throughout Meanjin (Brisbane), this Friday’s in-person Volta has been cancelled. We’re also unable to host this event online, due to limited resources/power.
We’ll see you again in April with more electric poetry, spoken word, and the unexpected at Brisbane Square Library.
We hope you’re all staying safe and dry.
All the best,
Rae & the QP team
