The annual Urban Voices International Festival did not have a poetry programme this year and we did not have the annual Speak The Mind Poetry sessions either. However, poetry and spoken word maintained a strong presence in the Gauteng arts scene.
The launch of the Melville Poetry Festival was an exciting addition and the three-day event showed off a variety of voices and presentations showcasing poetry for the page and for the stage.
The Word N Sound Poetry brand, which recently celebrated its first anniversary with a live music and poetry festival, has had an impact with how it’s nurturing young and up-and-coming voices, while inviting veterans to share and inspire.
