QLD Poetry Festival - Distant Voices: Aug 24 - 27

The 21st Queensland Poetry Festival (QPF) turns up the volume on the finest local and international poetic voices from 2427 August at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts and a host of other exciting satellite venues. Featuring 120+ artists in 80+ sessions over four dynamic days and nights, 75% of sessions are free. Building upon over 6000 attendees last year, QPF2017 is the festival’s biggest and most ambitious venture yet, showcasing poetry without borders and spoken word without walls.

With a theme of ‘Distant Voices’, QPF2017 will also emphasise First Nation, refugee, and culturally and linguistically diverse poets and performers from across Australia and the globe.
