'Friendly Street Poets (FSP) is Australia's longest-running community open-mic, uncensored poetry reading and publishing group in the Southern Hemisphere. Started on 11 November 1975 by Andrew Taylor, Richard Tipping and Ian Reid, FSP was Adelaide's first regular, open-to-all poetry reading. It has since achieved local, national and international recognition for its dedication to the nurturing, support and promotion of poetry.' (www.melbournebooks.com.au/awaw2011contents.html#jj)
