Online from March 21

Live: June 3-5

The 2022 Queensland Poetry festival was held online and in Meanjin/Brisbane in from March 21 to June 5.

The theme for 2022’s festival - ‘Emerge’ - spoke not only to the sense of ‘coming through’ the significant challenges of the last few years, but also to the way poetry emerges into the world, and to poets taking those first (tentative, courageous) steps into the poetry community.
