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 https://www.perthpoetryclub.com/node/604 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):
Once again, thank you. It has been a wonderful experience for Ruth and I. Best regards, The Wild Whispers Team.

Wild Whispers Poetry Magazine is on the lookout for guest writers
What can I write about? - Articles about writing or the historical use of short poetry - A poetry book review of a favourite short poetry book - Quick writing tips for forgotten forms of short poetry forms - Writing prompts - Articles on the art of poetry performing, including overcoming stage fright, voice projection, use of microphones, types of sound and lighting equipment, sound effects or music alongside poetry, podcasting, and Zooming. - Poetry as therapy: Mental and physical health and wellness of poets These are just a few topics to give you an insight into what kind of articles are acceptable. Feel free to pitch your own ideas. The tone of the magazine is fun, happy, and interesting. Write like you are sitting on a beach and chatting to a friend about poetry. As a note, Wild Whispers Poetry Magazine can’t pay contributors. What are the requirements? Articles should be a maximum of 300 words, which will be edited to suit the layout of the page and to keep the writing concise. Articles that contain links to businesses are strictly prohibited for guest posts. Remember to attach related images to your article in an email and include a short bio. How do I submit a guest post? Simply email [email protected] with your pitch. We are hard at work creating the magazine and its articles. There have been many subscriptions and submissions. There is still plenty of time to get your submissions in as well. We would appreciate if you could please share this image in your social media. 
Wild Whispers Poetry Magazine offers a new opportunity for poets from around the world, for short poems under five (5) lines and 160 characters. Wild Whispers invites submissions of up to three (3) pieces of micropoetry of any form. Biographical statements (50 words) should also be included, please.
Submissions for the first edition will open 14 December to 14 February 4pm GMT To learn more about Wild Whispers and how to submit, please visit the website here https://www.wildwhisperspoetrymagazine.com/  We are pleased that WA Poets have advertised our launch in their weekly newsletter. Thanks for much! You will notice that there is also a comment about the 3rd Annual Poet's Picnic. This is an event Wendy Beach has organised for the last three years in conjunction with Mar Bucknell's regular poemambulisms through the city. This one should be a lovely day walking through Highgate, and then picnicking in Hyde Park.
 Many thanks to the Perth Poetry Club (PPC) for advertising our launch in their weekly e-newsletter today. I had the pleasure of meeting featured poet Nina Lewis from the UK during online zoom poetry during the lockdowns. This should be a marvellous event with people watching in Perth, and zooming in from the UK and other parts of the world too. PPC regularly has members zoom in from Malaysia, Singapore, India, the USA, and the UK. You can keep up to date with what's on with PPC here.
