We’ve partnered up with Red Dirt Poetry to present a special showcase celebrating the breadth of poetic talent across the Northern Territory and South Australia!
Hear from emerging, mid-career, and established poets and spoken word artists working across diverse forms, alongside special guest performers including Alex C. Steffan, Spandu Pillarisetty, Mahalia Charlotte, Emma Trenorden, Heather Taylor-Johnson, Ren Wyld, Wendy Taleo and Kultar Ahluwalia. Hosted by Luke Patterson.
Set under the desert night sky, nestled in the foothills of the Ntaripe Ranges, this all-star lineup will warm winter hearts with words, rhythm, and story.
Tickets on sale July 15 via the Red Dirt Poetry Festival.
Presented by Red Room Poetry in partnership with Red Dirt Poetry Festival as part of Poetry Month
