IWFA NSW National Poetry Month Gala – RedRoom Poetry

Come and join us for an early evening event at the RedRoom Poetry Gala and experience poetry readings by many voices. Guests are welcome!

Organised by RedRoom Poetry, once again they will be showcasing poets from around Australia and overseas as part of Poetry Month.

Red Room Poetry is an engine room of Australian poetry on the page and the stage.

On Thursday 28 August, Red Room will present the annual National Poetry Month Gala – a lively celebration of poets and poetry hosted by Jan Fran. Presented in the Auditorium of the State Library of NSW, the show will feature acclaimed Australian poets (including the glorious Kirli Saunders), some exciting new voices, and our Poetry Month Ambassadors – much-loved public figures performing poems or songs they love.

Join us for the 75 minute performance, and for drinks in the foyer afterwards with the audience and poets.

“The whole event from start to finish was uplifting, meaningful, thought provoking, entertaining and joyous.”
