Poetry can be the most freeing of art forms. Here we bring you poetry reading clubs in Delhi that are spaces to speak out loud. Most of these places also have workshops, so check ‘em out!

Delhi Poetry Slam

Organising some of the best poetry slams in town, Delhi Poetry Slam hones the art of the spoken word. Since 2013, the club does artist management for spoken word performers and hosts events at various venues across Delhi bringing together local and international performers.

Poetry Couture

Poetry Couture is an initiative across the main cities of India including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. It is mostly for the youth to engage with poetry intrinsically, and to create a space where one can practice one’s right to free speech. They generally read at cafes and parks. 

Poets Corner

The name behind the famous and fabulous Delhi Poetry Festival, Poet’s Corner started off as a student’s movement and has now become a pan-India poetry phenomenon. They even have a children’s section called the New Leaf Poets Club. They organise online competitions, poetry reading events, and book launches.
