Now with a new venue safely in hand, the
popular Live Poets Society (LiPS) has been revived and will once again offer
lovers of poetry a monthly forum for discussion and presentation.
Thanks to the efforts of Dr Deena
Padayachee, Karen Bradtke of the Collective and artSPACE has offered LiPS a free
space to chill out and wind down with many of Durban’s top poets and some very
cool poetry.
“In this life we are fortunate to be
surrounded by sentient beings of the calibre of people who will walk the extra
mile for a course they consider worthy and are prepared to sacrifice their time
and efforts for,” says convenor Danny Naicker in thanks to those who have
engaged their energies to keeping LiPS going.
The new venue is The Collective which,
appropriately, is in the same building that houses Ike’s Book Store. Those attending
are asked to bring along snacks and make the occasion a bring-and-share affair.
The Collective has a bar with wine and other beverages available.
The re-Launch of LiPS will take place at 17h30
for 18h00 on May 8 at the COLLECTIVE, 48b Florida Road in Greyville Durban (entrance
in 4th Avenue). Admission is free.
