Catalyst Open Mic + Special Guest: Claudia Jardine

 

As well as our regular open mic this week, we're looking forward to welcoming 2022 Ōtautahi Slam Champion Claudia Jardine as a feature poet ahead of her debut collection Biter launching in April.

With a stunning cover by artist Philip Kelly, Biter is being published by Auckland University Press and launches with a book tour throughout April, beginning in Christchurch and taking in Wellington, Dunedin and mighty Timaru.

 

Claudia is a dynamic performance poet (as a Slam title under her belt would suggest) and would be a brilliant addition to any festival programme (nudge nudge programmers out there!)

The Deadline Loometh - Catalyst is currently open for submissions!

 

It's that time of year again when we are open for submissions to our print-only journal.

Deadline is 1st April every year and full details on how to submit are available on our 'Submissions' tab above. We strongly recommend reading that page and following the guidelines. 

One of the best guidelines is to get hold of a copy of Catalyst and check out what we like to publish generally - this may give you a fair sense of what we might be interested in (and what is noticeably absent). Having said that, if what you're doing is experimental and unique and doesn't appear in Catalyst yet, we're all ears/eyes. But still, follow the guidelines.

Looking forward to reading your work!

Yours, the Catalyst Crew.
