Sydney Writers' Festival 2010

In Issue 2 of extempore the poems of Rai Thistlethwayte (Thirsty Merc), P.S. Cottier and Geoff Page jostle for attention with in-depth interviews (Judy Bailey, Mike Nock, Scott Tinkler), non-fiction (John Clare, Andrew Lindsay) fiction (Mandy Sayer) and more. A relative newcomer to the family of Australian literary journals, each issue features fiction, poetry, interviews, essays, photographs, prints and a CD - and all the journal's contributors draw their inspiration from jazz and improvised music. Writers, musicians and visual artists explore and celebrate creativity that crosses the lines between artforms. Join them for celebration, performance, readings and light refreshments.
