Assorted Sporks - Featuring Jesse Echo
Poetry & Performance

Assorted Sporks is a free queer friendly regular poetry and performance night at Mamma Chen’s.
This month, on Thursday September 25th.

This month’s feature poet: Jesse Echo
Hosted by: Loran Steinberg

Jesse Echo is a non-binary trans-femme poet, storyteller & songwriter living in Naarm (Melbourne). Her performances blend the spoken word with her folk-punk singer-songwriter roots, resulting in a rhythmic mix of structured & unstructured poetry & verse.

Jesse’s poetry is a welcoming, authentic, and down-to-earth meander through themes of queer joys, queer struggles, self-discovery, and self-love – all punctuated with a warm sensuality. Whether she’s spinning a yarn, crooning softly, or inviting you to shout along triumphantly – she hopes to bring you all along on this little journey together.

This month’s theme: Caterpillar/Moth
Themes are not mandatory, they are just to encourage you to experiment with your writing and improvisation. Feel free to make it weird.

Mamma Chen’s acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, the true owners of the land that we live and operate on. We would like to pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
