Join us for an intimate yet lively afternoon filled with the power and passion of poetry and spoken word. On stage, we will bring some of Australia and New Zealand’s most accomplished stars including Evelyn Araluen, Anne-Marie Te Whiu, Dominic Hoey and Dakota Feirer together with much acclaimed poets and spoken word artists from our region including Judith Nangala Crispin, Barrina South, Andrew Cox and Melinda Smith. This will be a searing but joyous event where POETRY and SLAM are held on high, we give a warm welcome to our overseas and interstate poet champions and celebrate the wonderful poetry scene of our town. There will be a 45-minute poetry set, chance to mingle and grab drinks, and then a second 45-minute set. The event will be moderated by Martin Dolan, Canberra poet, long-time supporter of That Poetry Thing and chair of Australian Poetry.
