If anyone knows how to throw a literary party, it’s the slam poets! Get ready for Byron Writers Festival’s Saturday night feature event, Voices in the Wild, a cabaret of spoken word that will bring the house down.

Featuring the powerful voices of poets, storytellers and wordsmiths Maxine Beneba Clarke, Madison Godfrey, Miles Merrill, Sarah Temporal, Jo Yang, and many more, traversing topics such as race, climate change, gender euphoria and mental health, with empathy and hope for the future.

Feel emboldened by the change that individual and collective voices can make. 

This is a separately ticketed evening event, so kick-on from your Friday at the festival, or simply rock up for the evening.

Bar opens 5pm. Event runs from 6.30pm to 9pm – Saturday at Bangalow A&I Hall. Tickets $30/35 via byronwritersfestival.com/tickets.
