Word map

Melbourne has had a week of poetry, a celebration of this somewhat forgotten artform. While some were rushing about seeing what this year's spring frocks looked like, and worrying about interpreting the new season's palette (as part of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week), others were gathering around the city waxing lyrical. There's now a handy poetry map of Melbourne, in which the city's spoken word artists and poets plot their progress (and how they felt) in words. And my mate Mik Efford put me onto the annual Melbourne Overload Poetry Festival (as he had built their splendid website). So who discovered their inner poet?
