West Side Poetry Slam
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.
