Young writers from across Houston take the stage as published poets, sharing work drawn from their own stories, struggles, and dreams. Their voices are honest, courageous, and moving.
This year's event is especially meaningful, as the Iconoclast Artists program celebrates 10 years of lifting up student voices. The evening features spoken-word performances, the debut of the 2026 student poetry anthology, a DJ, art giveaways, and more.
