S2 E2 - S02EP02 - 18 June 2018 - The Spirit of Punk

The Spirit of Punk by Nicolas Brasch

Originally wrote this piece for an open mic event I host for emerging writers called The Spirit of Punk, in which writers are encouraged to read their work without fear of judgement or failure or criticism - in the spirit of punk.

Nicolas is a writer and teacher of writing; Chair of Writers Victoria and former host of The Garret podcast on which he interviews leading writers on the craft of writing.

You can find Nicolas on his website, Twitter, and Instagram.
