World Poetry Day (21 March 2024) is a day set aside to promote poetry in all its forms: reading, writing, publishing and teaching. As the original UNESCO declaration says, it’s a day dedicated to ‘give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional, and international poetry movements.’ On the eve of World Poetry Day, and to commemorate the occasion, ArtsHub decided to focus closer to home, to explore the growing phenomenon and power of spoken word poetics.
ArtsHub reached out to its curator, Amanda Anastasi, who promises, ‘Audience members can expect to experience a wide range of poetry readings, performances and events covering diverse poetic styles and exciting multidisciplinary collaborations.’
