Hosted by poet and science writer Alicia Sometimes, this eccentric evening will feature poets Eugen Bacon, Adam Ford, Lisa Gorton and Amie Kaufman reciting their sci-fi inspired poems followed by an open mic section with prizes.

Listen to DJ Hot Wheels’ cosmic sounds and check out the upcoming, much-anticipated exhibition Handmade Universe: From craft to code and the spaces between.

There are great prizes to be won, including Readings Bookstore vouchers for the open mic competition (first prize $50, second prize $40 and third prize $30), a selection of poetry books for the best futuristic outfit, and spot prizes throughout the evening.

Enjoy a drink from our bar, which will be open before, during and after the poetry slam.
