The Forest Café,
141 Lauriston Place,Edinburgh
The Inky Fingers Open Mic takes place every
fourth Tuesday of the month, from 8-11pm. It’s free to come and free for anyone
to perform, regardless of style, experience, or identity.
We want to hear from everybody. We want
your poems, your rants, your ballads, your short stories, your diaries, your
experimental texts, your heart, your mind, your body. We want the essay on your
summer holidays you wrote when you were four, your adolescent haiku, and
extracts from your eventually-to-be-completed epic fantasy quadrilogy. We want
to hear your best new work as well. And we want people to care about the way words
are performed.
This month we’re bringing you a feature
from Manchester’s Les Maleureux! Les Malheureux is a collaboration between
Manchester-based flash fiction writers David Gaffney, author of the critically
acclaimed collections Sawn-off Tales, Aromabingo and The Half-life Of Songs
plus the novel Never Never, and Sarah-Clare Conlon, editor of smutty anthology Quickies:
Short Stories For Adults, which showcases filthy flash fiction from a number of
well-known and award-winning writers. Les Malheureux combines live literature
with original music and projections to deliver a new take on spoken word.
Expansive emotions, sweeping plots and complex characters are distilled into something
stranger than fiction!
