Klatch 2

Klatch 2 is now available to view in Online > ePubs. The magazine was assembled on Friday 29th January 2010. Thanks to everyone who was involved.

Photos from Klatch 3 are also now available to view in the Nights > Photos section, and a copy of the magazine produced during this Klatch will be available in the coming weeks.

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.
