Not Your Typical Poetry Festival

The Austin International Poetry Festival prides itself on being the largest non-juried poetry festival in the country. Most festivals typically rate their participants which takes away the intimacy and fun from the event. Instead, the Austin International Poetry Festival brings together each poet for an intimate experience where you can mingle with the artists after the show. Not only do national renowned artists participate but so can the youth with the API Youth Program also taking place during the event. This is a great way to support upcoming talent and see all the hard work they have invested in their poetry.
