The Clueless Collective were discovered by archaeologists digging a sewer outlet on their campsite of an important Iron Age site dig. Once released into the 21st Century, the Collective found themselves collectively lost and bewildered so they immediately started writing poetry. Historians believe this was an attempt at communication, but but it's more than likely the Collective were just bored because they couldn't work out how to turn the TV on. Come and voyeuristically gape at the Collective: www.cluelesscollective.co.uk
Humber Pie is a new blogzine based near Eel's habitat on the banks of the River Humber. When Eel realised there was a new fish (pie) in town, she was going to write him a letter of eviction telling him that this river aint big enough for the both of us. However, the Eel changed her mind when she realised that like herself, Humber Pie's mission is to rule the world with literature. Humber Pie is specifically interested in poetry and is currently looking for submissions. Check out this link to find out more about Eel's new F.O.E.: http://www.humberpie.blogspot.co.uk/

One of the many problems new writers face when trying to get their work 'out there' is knowing where to start and getting the confidence to do it. Eel has found that performing at a spoken word open mic night in your local area is an excellent way of getting that much-needed platform. Eel's Small Fry regularly attend open mic nights. One of their favourites is The Spoken Word Poetry & Prose Open Mic. Based in York, UK, the night takes place on the first Tuesday of every month at the Exhibition Hotel in York's City Centre. Each performer is allowed five minutes to perform a piece of creative writing of their choice to an extremely friendly and supportive audience. It's a great place to meet like-minded people who live and breathe literature! More about The Spoken Word Poetry & Prose Open Mic can be found at www.yorkspokenword.org.uk.
