Punk Poetry Fest '25

Punk poetry seems oxymoronic. But is it?

It so happens that intersectionality between artistic avant-garde and punk movement is vast, and we want to celebrate the anti-establishment, sometimes unpolished, raw and authentic poetry inspired by punk.

Come join us for an afternoon of selections from Rimbaud to Patti Smith to Richard Hell, some originals by our writers, and an open mic session for guest poets.

The event is free, but we appreciate tips and donations. Tip jar will be there looking at you lovingly with its one open eye.

Punk attire not required but wholeheartedly encouraged.

Bring your own snacks or share some of ours. We might take a break halfway through the fest for refreshments and hellos.
