Cottonmouth is a new spoken word
narrative art project coming out of Perth,

Western Australia.
In an attempt to break out from
the isolation of this far flung city,
Cottonmouth has adopted

a very unique format -

it is part performance night,
part publicaiton, part podcast.
This means that Cottonmouth has,

at its heart,
a national perspective.
Therefore, it is looking for

national content for its zine,
COTTTONMOUTH.
This zine is now open for submissions.
There are a few simple guidelines:
- submit two poems of no more

than 60 lines each.
- submit four smaller poems
if they are no more than 15 lines each.
- submit ficition or non fiction of no more
than 1200 words max.
- submit up to four illustrations

in black and white,
300dpi and suitable for publication.
- ALL WORK must be accompanied

with a 50 word bio.
please remember to include

weblinks in your bios
if you wish to draw readers attention
to your work online. - each piece submitted
must be in a separate attachment.
- bio can appear in body of email but must
also appear as separate attachment also.
- rtfs, word documents and jpegs
are preferred form of attachment.
- please include postal address

if you wish to receive
a copy of the zine

and you're unable to attend
COTTONMOUTH, which occurs on the
second thursday of every month at the
Rosemount Hotel's Bar 459 on the corner of
Fitzgerald and Angove streets in North Perth.
- please email all work to
info@cottonmouth. org.au
and remember that this is

a monthly publication,
so work may appear in one or two issues

depending.

"Auckland based poet Christian Jensen is a global
nomad and hermit, born and raised between the
glacier gnawn mountains and fjords of Norway.
After publishing the small book 'Zin Uru' and
a few chapbooks he has decided it is time to
spread the word and bridge the gap
between Auckland and Melbourne poets.
Christian is an organizer of Poetry Live,
the largest poetry venue in Auckland. He has
also spearheaded the Transient poetry movement
in New Zealand and is the founder of the
Guerilla Poets of Auckland." Check out:
