The JAFA Poetry Slam is back with a new venue and our first slam of the 2019 season! There is a short open mic open to all ages at the start, followed by an 18+ slam. There will only be FOUR open slam heats this year followed by our Auckland Regional Final in October. The winners of the Regional will travel to the National Poetry Slam later this year.
