Queensland Poetry Festival is Australia’s premier poetry festival, enjoying a reputation as both a world-class literary festival and an important community event.
Each year the Festival brings some of the finest poets from Australia and beyond to set the stage alight with poetry, music, and performance.
The 17th annual Queensland Poetry Festival: spoken in one strange word, will be held from August 23-25 at the wonderful Judith Wright Centre for Contemporary Arts.
The opening night extravaganza, Set Fire To The Air, will feature poets Jacqueline Turner (Canada) πO (Vic), and the 2013 Arts Queensland Poet in Residence Shane Rhodes, with a special feature set from acclaimed singer-songwriter Bertie Blackman.
The rest of the weekend of FREE programs is packed with poetry talent from local, national, and international artists.
