Austin Writers Roulette is a bimonthly uncensored, theme-inspired spoken word and storytelling event. It features a different monthly theme and line up of artists who perform their original written works such as poetry, essays, spoken word, singer-songwriting, or excerpts from novels for 5-8 minutes (1200 words or fewer). Interested artists who would like to perform for an upcoming event can email their submission to mathdreads@yahoo.com. Or you can show up during the day of the event and sign up for the open mic after all the featured artists perform. And of course, performance art lovers are always welcome!

This month’s theme is “Apology Allergies”—I’m sorry, but… I’m not really going to offer you an apology. Our lineup of featured artists includes: DONNA DECHEN BIRDWELL, NICOLE CORTICHIATO, HOPE RUIZ, CHARLA HATHAWAY, STEPHANIE WEBB, RG HOOK, TERESA Y. ROBERSON, & THOM THE WORLD POET. An open mic follows intermission and welcomes all participants of the 2019 Austin International Poetry Festival.

Visit the Austin Writers Roulette website for more information. Please note, this edition of the Roulette is the first Sunday of the month, so that Austin International Poetry Festival artists may participate.
