Stockholm Poet Society at Culture Night

Welcome to an evening of poetry and spoken word! During the culture night, the Stockholm Poet Society is organizing two open stages for poetry readings and there will also be conversations with poets who write poetry in various forms. Everyone is welcome – beginners, professionals and the curious! Come, perform your poetry and be inspired by others! We keep going until the wee hours of the night!

Stockholm Poet Society is a non-profit association that organizes open stages for poetry in Stockholm. Our goal is that everyone who wants to can read poetry in front of an audience. We want to be a warm and safe context where you can be creative, just as you are.

Do you want to sign up to read on an open stage?

– To register for our open stages during Culture Night, the following applies:
Open stage #1 (19:00-20:30)
Registration opens at 18:00.

Open stage #2 (23:00-00:30)
Registration opens at 22:30

– 15 poets per stage and first come, first served. We only accept registrations for each stage at the times indicated above.

Keep in mind:
– Each poet has five minutes on stage. If you go over, the emcee can interrupt your reading. You can read whatever you want, in whatever language you want (but – also read the next point).
– Stockholm Poet Society should be a safe space and we reserve the right to interrupt your reading if it is perceived as racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, funkophobic or otherwise offensive.
– Be on time. If you are not there when the event starts (or have communicated late arrival) you will lose your place.
– Invite your friends! In order to create good events, we need a large audience. If everyone who participates invites a bunch of friends, everyone gets a bigger audience and new “fans”!

Free entry.
