Accessible Online Open Mic

We're teaming up with Bramble to host an open mic night for disabled creatives on Zoom as part of Poetry Month 2024! Come along and read a poem, or turn up and show support.

Enjoy a special feature set by Wiradjuri/Chinese/Australian poet Kerri Shying, and share your own poetry. You can read your poetry aloud, or share it in the chat. Plus, there will be a few book giveaways for poets who share their work! This free online event will be a fun relaxed night, and also an opportunity to socialise with other writers in the disability community.

Note: sign-up for the open mic is during the Zoom only; the event hosts will try and accomodate as many poets as is possible until all slots are filled (maximum 3 mins per poet). Auto-live captioning can be enabled in Zoom and text-based poems via chat are welcomed on the night too. Please feel free to contact us if you have any accessibility queries for this event via access@redroompoetry.org
