Every month WestWords hosts the West Side Poetry Slam. Held on Wednesdays, the event is run live at WestWords Centre for Writing in Parramatta and also live-streamed. The poetry slam presents a feature poet alongside its open mic where you sign up on the night and perform/read an original piece of writing to open minds, hearts, and arms. Anything can be poetry.
