Let Prof Pods boost your brain power.
Do you love browsing through bookshops? Broadening your mind? Picking up something to curl up in bed with?
Come to the Fed Square Book Market this Saturday at 1pm to see Professor Petri P Podsapoppin PhD and budding young scholarship student Tobias Manderson-Galvin.
Marvel as they perform great moments from world literature, read exquisite poetry and teach us all valuable lessons for leading a joyous life full of meaningful frivolity.
Join in the Book Quiz. Bring something for Show and Tell Time. Win prizes. Find yourself a literary treasure. Grab a coffee. Pick up a bargain. And mingle with Melbourne’s most ardent and honourable ‘bookies’.
Presented by the Wheeler Centre with the Australian Poetry Centre.
Featuring
Ezra Bix
In the last two years Ezra has won regional heats and the Victorian state final of the Australian Poetry Slam and has come third and second in the national final at the Sydney Opera House.
He won the final of The Age, Melbourne Writers’ Festival Poetry Idol, a popular competition that has heats throughout the year and over two hundred entrants.
His first book of poetry, Dancing in the Lifeboat was launched in 2009 at the Australian Poetry Centre. Among other things, it looks at global warming, the plight of refugees, art, cakes and the fruit-loopy kookiness of consumerism.
He is a featured poet in the ABC TV series, Bush Slam.
