Help us build a home for spoken word. The Poet House cultivates a care-centered community where spoken word poets can create, perform, learn, connect, and grow. Your donation helps us keep our programming accessible while investing directly in the artists and young people who make this community possible. Your support helps fund free and low-cost open mics, youth programming through Courageous Cadence, every.Word Poetry, artist compensation, workshops and writing circles, performance opportunities, documentation, accessibility, and the behind-the-scenes work required to sustain our programs. Whether you give $5 or $500, you are helping us build an Austin where spoken word poets are valued, supported, and given space to be heard. Support the poets. Support the work. Help us build The Poet House.
