P76 may not be the most prolific of small literary magazines, but it is one of the longest running! The first issue was produced on a second-hand gestetner machine in a falling down terrace in Rochford Street, Erskineville NSW, back in the Spring of 1982. Now, 41 years later, editors Linda Adair and Mark Roberts are excited to be launching Issue 8 of this iconic literary journal on the last weekend of Melbourne's vibrant new spoken word festival.

Featuring new or recent work by Pete Spence, Jurate Sasnaitis, Angela Costi, Robbie Coburn, Robyn Rowland, Es Foong, Amanda Anastasi, Mark Roberts, Linda Adair, Tina Giannoukos, Gig Ryan, and John Jenkins, as well as an essay by Robert Kenny on the history of well-respected and influential literary publisher Rigmarole of the Hours, this limited print run hardcopy magazine will showcase some of the best of the contemporary poetry with links to Melbourne plus provide an interesting historical overview of key developments from the early 1980s era when Mark Roberts began collaborating with Melbourne Poets Union.
