Look out for the next Poetry Slam
The poetry slam is a competition at which poets, and would-be poets, read or recite original work. These performances are then judged by previously selected members of the audience. This year’s Poetry Slam is being held in partnership with the South West Rocks Arts Council, in August. Watch this space for more details!
