THIS IS THE INVITATION TO THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY (ACT) AUSTRALIAN POETRY SLAM HEAT NUMBER ONE!

The top five poets from Heat Number One will go into the ACT Australian Poetry Slam Final for the chance to represent the ACT at the Australian Poetry Slam in Sydney. But this is not the only reason to be at this extraordinary event...

THE MASTER OF CONFLICT – WHO HATES POETRY BUT LOVES POETS – WILL BE AN MC AT THIS EVENT SO YOU SHOULD BE THERE TOO!
