Speak the Word Poetry Salon

Speak the Word Poetry Salon is an online poetry collective that PJ Samuels and nudi co-organise. Other poets holding space for the collective include Maureen Medina, Nona Lea, Tara Singh, NJ Holt, Tanya Denhere and Tarrine Khanom. We host twice-per-week free-access poetry writing, editing and journaling workshops, open mics, and ad hoc literary events.

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.
