REIMAGINING POETRY—A NEW ERA OF INSPIRATION

Words broke free, creativity flowed, and voices soared!

For those who joined us, magic unfolded.
For those who missed, the promise of yet another festival awaits.

The Perth Poetry Festival 2024 has officially wrapped up, marking its 20th anniversary with an extraordinary celebration of words and creativity! In the months leading up to three unforgettable days and over the trailing weeks, Perth became a vibrant hub of poetic brilliance, dynamic performances, inspiring workshops, and cultural exchange.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us from August 23-25, in the lead-on and the follow-up program, participating in our electrifying events, workshops, and discussions. With stunning new venues, reduced ticket prices, and an array of free events, this year’s festival truly embraced the diverse world of poetry. The theme, “The Art of Poetry,” enchanted audiences with multi-dimensional, art-infused, cross-collaborations of art, sculpture, theatre, exhibitions, performance, and ekphrasis, leaving lasting inspiration for poets and poetry lovers alike.

Stay tuned for exciting announcements about future events and new opportunities to immerse yourself in the magic of poetry in 2025. Until then, thank you for making the 2024 festival a resounding success!
