About The Poet House

The Poet House, based in Austin, Texas, is dedicated to fostering a vibrant national community of spoken word poets—primarily serving poets of color, queer poets, poets with disabilities, and youth poets. Through productions, open mics, workshops, and resources, we empower artists to express their voices, share their stories, and connect with audiences across the country.
