About this event
Organised by
Speak the Word is an online poetry collective that PJ Samuels and nudi co-organise. Other poets holding space for the collective include Maureen Medina, Nona Lea, NJ Holt, Tanya Denhere and Tarrine Khanom. We host weekly free-access poetry writing and editing workshops, and open mics.
We're welcoming, queer-led, and queer and trans-affirming.
The sessions are popular but low-key, relaxed, run as a safer space, close-captioned and working towards better accessibility. We’re also working to build capacity of poets willing to lead sessions, so speak up if that’s you!
