This episode of The AdLib Hour is called, ‘Unexpected Poetry’. We'll be hearing stories from local poets sharing their words, thoughts and experiences in front of the mic. The poems have been developed by attendees of the Unexpected Poetry Application residency which was run by Carissa Fischer at the Adelaide City Library.

Participants wrote their poems in a series of workshops and presented them live at the library at a final showcase event. The residency was made possible through a partnership with Adelaide City Libraries and Spoken Word SA and we’re proud to share the works of Adelaide’s local, established and emerging artists with the wider community.
