Delhi Poetry Slam
We amplify India's poetic voices through open mics, writing workshops, publishing opportunities, and the Wingword Poetry Prize. Our mission is to build a supportive community where every writer can find their voice.
Community & Networking
We offer a space online and in Delhi where poets and writers can meet, share work, join open mics, and find real support from a creative community.
Live Performance & Spoken Word Events
We host open mics, showcases, and poetry slams where anyone can perform original work in any language, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and community-focused.
Poetry Competitions
We run national poetry competitions where anyone can enter in any language, win cash prizes, get published, and receive a certificate.
Publishing Services
We help poets get published in books, anthologies, and magazines, handle editing and design, and welcome work in multiple Indian languages from anyone, not just professionals.
Writing Workshops & Mentorship
We run small group writing workshops and mentorship sessions in Hindi and English, with direct feedback, spoken word coaching, and chances to perform or get published.

My Story
We’re Poetry Slam, but honestly, we’re more like a big, noisy family than anything else. Started out wanting to make some noise for poetry in India, ended up finding poets from every gali (lane) and city. Doctors, students, engineers, homemakers - English, Hindi, Maithili, sab milke likhte hain (everyone writes together). We’ve given out prizes, published books, but really, we just want to create a space where poetry heals, rebels, and connects. Mandir masjid ka hungama, par poetry insaan bana deti hai (We fight over temples and mosques, but poetry makes us human). That’s what keeps us going.
