Australian Poetry Slam ’26

Join this celebration of writers who answer the call of a mic on a stand. Their scrawled leaves of passion fly from notebooks with poems to spark your dreams.   Australian Poetry Slam (APS) invites you to clear out cobweb memes. Ignore that wrinkled cushion begging your bum to curl into your couch. Be spellbound by the nation’s top 16 spoken-wordsmiths reflecting the spotlight off their chests, igniting every mind in the room.
