Edmonton Poetry Festival 2024

Join us at the 2024 Edmonton Poetry Festival!
Theme: VOICES FLOW ~ COLLECTIVE CURRENT

The Edmonton Poetry Festival swirls into town from April 21-28 with varied voices and current words all joining together. Over eight days, a dozen events will challenge and inspire, as special guests join local poets. There will be excitement and rapids in the stream, and pools of quiet contemplation.
