This year marks the first year that OUTspoken, a queer Perth performance poetry group, will be attending the festival. The group began in 2013 to give members of the community a space to freely express themselves.

OUTspoken is on tonight at The Sparrow’s Nest on Albany Highway in Victoria Park from 7:30pm. Tickets are available at the door, or you can email OUTspoken at outspokenperth@gmail.com

Jesse Slam Oliver performed his poem at OUTspoken last year. Tomorrow he’s taking part in the WA heat of the Australian Poetry Slam. Head down to the Rosemount Hotel from 5pm and show him some support.

Check out one of Jesse’s poems below.
