Poetry Month returns with WA Showcase

Poetry Month (1 – 31 August), originally established by Red Room Poetry in 2021, returns for its fifth year. As a part of its annual celebrations, Red Room Poetry is running a live poetry showcase at the Fremantle Library on Thursday, 7 August.

2x State Slam Finalist and author of We Need to Talk (Red River Press) Manveen Kohli will host the showcase, which will feature sets from critically celebrated WA poets such as Joni Boyd, Megan Ugle, Alan Fyfe, Shey Marque, and Jo Giles, closing out with a musical send-off from WAM Awards nominee for ‘Best Vocalist’ and ‘Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Act’ Anna Schneider.

Red Room Poetry’s Creative Producer Izzy Roberts-Orr joined Bec Bowman on Artbeat to discuss the significance of poetry as a live, shared experience, as well as the 30in30 Writing Competition that is running throughout the month.

Tickets to the WA Poetry Month Showcase are free, and available here.
