Spring has officially sprung here in Austin, and we couldn’t be more ready for the warm, breezy April afternoons. Here are a few things to do this month in ATX.
Austin International Poetry Festival
Dates: 4/8-4/9
Various Locations
Austin Poets International (API), the parent organization of the Austin International Poetry Festival (AIPF), is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that promotes literary excellence by bringing together poets and storytellers from around the world to celebrate the diversity of humanity through written and spoken words. API does this through three programs: AIPF itself, di-vêrsé-city (the Festival's anthology - pronounced diversity), and youth programs.
AIPF is the country's largest non-juried poetry festival, a point of pride among API members. One goal of this annual festival is to bring Fresh Voices to the stage to mix with the voices of established poets from around the country and world. Everyone reads and mingles at venues throughout Austin with poets of varying stature and experience.
