October 2022 Spoken Word Events

Another month, another list!

Thank you all for your support of the September list! Each month I'll work to improve the list to make it more accessible. Feedback and advice are appreciated!

This month, the list is presented by Country - seek out your location, and check out the fantastic events happening in your area. Please let me know if your region/location/event is not included.

I am now seeking November events! As always, events can be sent to me across all social channels (@BexPoet) or via email (bex@iamloud.co).

Keep supporting Spoken Word!
