The open mic night gives new poets an opportunity to present their work and features performances by some of the city’s freshest spoken word talent.

Melbourne Spoken Word is a website and arts organisation with the goal of supporting spoken word and poetic performers and events around Melbourne, especially the live spoken word and poetry scene. Melbourne has a vibrant culture of poetic performances, open mic nights and poetry slams, most of which is not widely known about in mainstream media. MSW aims to make spoken and poetry visible in this city.

Workshop presenters and feature poets are released prior to each event. Follow @melbspokenword and @yarralibraries for line-up updates.

Bookings required.
