Looks like I never wrote about that here, but I participated in a great monthly slam on the 26th of June (which is funny). I was reading two p..ms - Retrograde-Circular Methamorphosis which made people laugh, as I turned it into a very dramatic dialogue representing the so-called A and B characters and Wrong Star, as I wanted to be polite and not go with two long ones. Should've gone with two long ones, though, having seen how other poets were abusing the occasion and what kind
I liked an older lady in red who came unannounced and was a late addition to the list of performers. She was clapping to me with a huge smile on her face and her work reminded me of classic poetry of early XX century Serbian poetesses. I shook her hand and she said that we'll see each other again in September. I sure hope so!
So, now I have seen an ad for a large literature festival, featuring a poetry slam competition. I'm up for it, they take 20 people from all around Serbia. Let's hope I'm good enough to be among those 20.
In addition to this, here are some initial illustrations for the Wrong Star poetry book. And some random ones.
