OutLoud 2019 Poems
Australian Poetry
This special e-chapbook presents the five finalist poems in the 2019 Secondary Schools Slam competition, OutLoud Eco!Slam 2019, including the winning poem. It is also a kind of bespoke sampler of all the extraordinary poems produced by 29 Secondary teams, and four Primary teams who participated this year. Along with partnerships for OutLoud 2019 with the City of Melbourne Arts Grants Program 2019, Melbourne Writers Festival, Red Room Poetry, Express Media and Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, AP is also grateful for our publications and festivals funding supporters at the Cultural Fund, Australia Council for the Arts and Creative Victoria. Most of all we would like to deeply thank Creative Director, Emilie Zoey Baker, whose exciting vision founded OutLoud nine years ago, and all the inspiring poets and their teachers who participated in 2019.
