Put a poetry collection near your pillow and read a random line every morning.
Write a poem, write 30 poems! Running 1-31 August, we'll be releasing a new daily writing prompt created by one of our 30in30 commissioned artists. To view the daily prompt and win book prizes, follow us on any of our socials. Guidelines here.
Run a regular poetry reading or slam? Want to host a poetry panel, workshop or talk? Bush poetry or haiku breakfast? Submit your event to our Poetry Month Calendar here.
Check out a book of poetry from your local library (and request they order in an Australian poetry collection).
Engage with First Nations poetry – check out our Fair Trade and Guwayu projects, share an Indigenous poet’s work with family and friends, grab a book as a gift (for yourself or for others).
Tag your favourite Australian poet online and let them know how much you love their work.
Subscribe to Australian Poetry or any of the brilliant journals that support the artform.
Share a favourite Australian poem on social media using the hashtag #poetrymonth.
Head along to a live poetry slam or open mic (and get up and share your work).
Keep a poem in your pocket - read it out loud to your friends, family, workmates, to yourself or pass it along to brighten someone's day.
Donate to Red Room Poetry to ensure we can continue to grow Poetry Month – and our other poetic programs – and commission original poetry in all of its forms.
