Calling our local lyricists!

Do you love playing in the Ionian scale? Can't pass up sending Miles Davis around the turntable? Looking for a way to combine your passion for music and writing? We are seeking expressions of interest from poets and performers to participate in our Library Up-Late event. We are accepting two entries per submission.

What is Jazz Poetry?

Jazz Poetry is a literary genre defined as poetry informed by jazz music – poetry that feels jazz-like rhythm, syncopation, or the feel of improvisation or that takes jazz music as its subject.

How can I participate?

Individuals and/or groups will have the opportunity to perform their piece to a live audience with intermission performances from live jazz musicians. Library Up-Late will be hosted by Georges River Libraries and will receive further promotion alongside Georges River Council's ‘In Good Taste’ Festival happening over the month of February 2022.
