Three of the poets featured in this year’s Poetry Month: Huda the Goddess, Denni and Daniel Browning.
Returning for its second iteration, Poetry Month, held each year in August and produced by Red Room Poetry, is a celebration of Australian poets and the diversity of poetry across the nation.
It continues with the 30in30 program, consisting of a specially commissioned poem released and performed each day in August from 30 different contributors. The National Poetry Gala will also make its debut in Sydney while curated poetry events are planned in every state and territory.
