Here is my real profile.

hey Giovanni
yes would definitely like to work with you. Are you starting the slam poetry here in Mauritius?  Depending on the response my friends and i were thinking of having the first poetry night this friday the 23rd of October.

Yep.

Sending you more info in PM. Catch you up later

Hi..that's a great idea..i would love to attend..let me know when it's all confirmed!

We are still trying to organise it. It all depends on the response that we get.

Hi, if you look on this site under my username, you will see I wrote something similar...i
here it us again,
" Hello, I'm Susanne, who, as a lucky (old, English-speaker) person, comes backwards & forwards to Mauritius. I'm wondering if the are any poetry events here? As I cannot see anything like that on this site, and haven't heard of any or found any in my progressions around various parts of this divine isle. If there are no open-mic events here maybe I can volunteer to see if I can find some places to run some - in the months I am here? Then maybe there might be other people, who might do some volunteer-spots while I'm not here? No hurry, it will take a while to find venues, and set up, and - we could even begin with beginners, or maybe what's called 'doggerel'  - which is a lot of fun (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doggerel). It is possible to create events for any/all ages Any thoughts? best wishes, & Peace, old Susanne
P.S. If you are interested, try searching 'poetry readings 2015' online, and see the huge amount of interesting goings-on - worldwide - particularly poems for peace. xs"

hey guys,
A couple of friends and i were discussing starting a small spoken word/poetry night this Friday. Just  wondering how many of you would be interested in such an evening,either sharing some of your poetry or spoken word pieces or simply attending?

Are any of these things still happening? I've just moved to Mauritius from the UK. I'm a poet, artist and writer and would love to connect with similar creatives! x

Hi..i guess we could start something like that..

Hello, welcome! I first suggested this type of group when I was in Mauritius several years ago, but I'm back in Australia atm,
So, hope you have success! Love to catch up for coffee & chat when I return?
That will probably be in about 3 weeks. My email is: **. Maybe also ask, via Facebook "Society of Travelling Poets" site, & Facebook's own Poetry Society section? Also, maybe put up a note on the notice board st the  "London Supermarket, in Rivière Noire, for coffee with like- minded people. The Bay Hotel is a good, safe place to meet for that. That worked for me. Plus maybe join in the other great online, (nominate for Mauritius area)  "Internations"

Hey all. I am founder of a poetry night on the island. I have organized up to 4 events so far. We are planning for another either this month January or February. We do welcome everyone that would like to attend or perform. Thank you

Hi..yeah I've seen quite a few posts dated from past years. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hopefully more members who are interested will post here and maybe a meeting can be scheduled.
Cheers

If you decide to have another event, please advertise it on the site as I would love to come.

Would love to meet you when you return. Have you moved to Australia or are you just visiting?
