Opening Ceremony It may not be bigger but it’s certainly better than the Olympics Opening. Join MC Maysa Abouzeid, a blind Egyptian Italian comedian to kickstart the 2008 Northern Notes Writers Festival. She and her guide dog will make you laugh your way through those opening night formalities. Then once the formalities are out of the way watch the Northcote Civic Square light up to the world of visual poetry.

Why do people call certain pieces of music, or particular paintings poetic? What is the quality of poetry and how does it exist in a visual sense? During the opening of the festival there will be a showcase of visual, and concrete poetry from a selection of work by local, interstate and international practitioners of theses art forms. These will be projected on the side of the Northcote Town Hall. Greek-Australian poet ?? will project and provide elucidation on the subject of number poems, and Sjaak de Jong will be on hand to discuss concrete and visual poetries, their history and origins.
