Klatch 2

The third Klatch meeting was held on Friday 29th January. At this meeting the second Klatch magazine was put together. Each poet brought 50 copies of their work to the Klatch and we made up 50 copies of a magazine, now called Klatch 2. We also broadcast readings and performances live from the Klatch via Openned TV. Each poet took two copies of the magazine to distribute by hand. There are now only 13 copies of the Klatch magazine left. To request a copy, contact us and leave your request along with your postal address. The magazine is completely free. Poets included in Klatch 2:

• Tim Atkins
• Becky Cremin
• Alex Davies
• Amy De'Ath
• Elizabeth Guthrie
• Edmund Hardy
• Johanna Linsley
• Fransesca Lisette
• Georgi M'Glug
• Nat Raha
• Sophie Robinson
• Karen Sandhu
• Linus Slug
• Tessa Whitehouse
• Steve Willey
• Michael Zand

Update on Monday 1 March, 2010 by Openned

Please note all available copies of Klatch are now gone.

Openned Issues (2006 & 2007)

edited by Stephen Willey, Alex Davies Published: Oct 08 Publisher: Openned Press Format: PDF Price: £free View free: PDF (6.5MB)

The Openned issue is a digital magazine series based on your work interacting with a concept, theme, object - anything we feel will inspire dialogue amongst poets. Every issue will last for three months in a state of flux, constantly added to and modified, accommodating work that falls under the brief, or work written in response to other poets.

Between 2006 and 2007, we created three of these issues for Openned.com. With revisions to the site and limitations of space and time, they were temporarily removed. Now the poetry has been collected and is sited in this publication. Poets featured in this publication:

• Brooklyn Copeland
• Alex Davies
• James Davies
• Trini Decombe
• Nikki Dudley
• Amy Evans
• Kai Fierle-Hedrick
• Allen Fisher
• Hacked By Krishna
• James Harvey
• Morton Hurley
• Tom Jenks
• Ross Kern
• Jow Lindsay
• Marianne Morris
• Andrew Nightingale
• Chris Paul
• Spencer Selby
• Hannah Silva
• Anna Ticehurst
• Michael Weller
• James Wilkes

The Openned Issues is completely free, in PDF format.
