Wild Whispers 1:1 Shoreline Now Available & its Launch

 Hello Whisperers!
Join us for the launch of Wild Whispers Poetry Magazine's inaugural Issue, 1, Volume 1 Shoreline—now available online in two different formats.
https://www.wildwhisperspoetrymagazine.com/ww-issues.html 

We invite you to celebrate this exciting release at the launch party, hosted by the Perth Poetry Club. The event will take place from 2-4pm (WST +8) this Saturday the 12th of April at The Moon Café, 323 William St, Northbridge, Western Australia. There will be open mic slots available if you arrive early. Pizzas to follow.
Come along and enjoy an afternoon of poetry, with the launch and readings from selected poems featured in the magazine, featuring Wendy Beach, Deanne Leber, and Mar Bucknell.
Wild Whispers Poetry Magazine is released by Wendy Beach and Ruth Collins. This magazine is a culmination between two writers, one in Northern Ireland and one in Western Australia, and is part of a larger project looking into the lives of Irish convict women transported to Australia and considers what their stories and poetry might have said about that journey. Although the poetry is unthemed, the next magazine's (Issue 1, Volume 2) design theme will be Seaport.
If you can’t attend the launch in person, don’t worry—it will also be streamed on Zoom via Perth Poetry Club Events

We look forward to seeing you there, whether in person or virtually! If you are going to read your published poem, please let us know as we will make sure we don't select it for reading when we are launching. Open mic slots are three minutes long. Most poets read two or three poems at that time.
Thank you for your contributions and ongoing support. We encourage deeper engagement with future issues and welcome pitches for (APA 7, UK English): 

• 500-800 word articles focusing on poetic history, culture, and lifestyles
• 300-800 word mini-workshops centered on short poetry forms (known, little known, or of your own making), including an example and step-by-step walkthrough
• 100-word poetry book reviews recommending recently published works you’ve enjoyed (preference given to books featuring short poetry) and which are readily available
• 800-word in-depth poetry book reviews offering publicity while addressing publishing industry insights or current poetry trends
• 200-word interviews spotlighting exceptional yet under-recognised figures in poetry or poets who are in unusual places or situations, and a short poem
• 500-800 word narrative essays, optionally accompanied by up to five pages of supplementary poems or workshop materials

Once again, thank you. It has been a wonderful experience for Ruth and I.


Best regards,
The Wild Whispers Team.
