The 2025 Launceston Poetry Festival featured a handful of creativity, a sizeable dash of community, and a whole lot of literature.

It also featured outstanding poets and artists such as…

Frank Skinner & Ella Frears

Isabelle Baafi & Nina Mingya Powles

Katrina Naomi & Pascale Petit

Among many (wonderful) others!

This upcoming festival, you will be able to count on the same warm community feel, more workshops, talks, readings, and opportunities you can’t miss, whether you’re a poet (small or grown) or simply a reader.
