Our Poetry Vending Machine was such a hit in Borders bookshop, Norwich, that we were asked to keep it there until the end of October. Now it is staying on until mid-November. So if you haven't caught it yet, don't miss the opportunity!
The Original Poetry Vending Machine is running at the BirdCage Pub, Pottergate, Norwich, as part of this year's Fringe Festival. The BirdCage hosts Norwich's most exciting cabaret. The next cabaret is this Wednesday! Catch the PVM there!
The Poetry Vending Machine was delivered to the massive Borders bookshop in the Chapelfield Mall, Norwich, today by Rupert, Tim, Annette and Mike. It is now standing at the foot of the stairs and is in full working order, with sample boxes on show to tempt passers by, and leaflets about InPrint also available.
If you're in Norwich, drop in and take a look! In fact, why not purchase a box or two? They make great presents!
The PVM will be in Borders for two weeks: don't miss it.
As the poetry vending machine is being prepared for its outing in Borders bookshop, Norwich, here are two top-class photographs, courtesy of the Eastern Daily Press, Norwich. One shows the contents of a typical pvm box, and the other the machine itself, with five members of InPrint: left to right, sitting, Annette Rolston and Lisa D'Onofrio; standing, Joan Murray, Rupert Mallin and Tonia Jillings.
InPrint's Poetry Vending Machine will be vending at the Eastern Region's prestigious art gallery, Colchester's FirstSite (Minories) throughout December! There may even be an InPrint poetry reading there too.
On Friday, 31 August there will be a national launch of InPrint's Poetry Vending Machine (PVM) at 'The Den of Uniquity,' Dukes Head, Slugs Lane, Somerleyton, Suffolk -
Photo shoot and launch from 2pm. All welcome.

Rupert, Lisa and Tim spent a couple of hours this morning (May 3) transporting the largest Poetry Vending Machine from the Art Factory Studios at Bally to St Giles Church in the middle of Norwich for the Open Studios "taster" exhibition.
Rupert had already done all the preparation, making sure the machine was in good order and its legs could be removed for easy transportation. He had also checked and categorised all the boxes.
At St Giles the machine is in a good position to be baptised, standing as it does in front of the font, adorned with its alluring "make-up". Rupert and Tim invested some cash in checking that it worked and were rewarded by getting their money back. Meanwhile a number of other artists were putting together their exhibits, encouraged by artist Martin Mitchell.
The machine will be at St Giles for two weeks, and then be transferred to Bally for the Open Studios proper.
