    Lust meets literature in a night of poetic pleasure.

    Panel: Non-Binary and Bisexual Romance
    6:30pm – 7:30pm
    Beyond binaries, beyond expectations – how queer love is written.
    Explore the evolving representation of non-binary and bisexual love stories in fiction. Panelists discuss breaking stereotypes, writing authentic relationships, and why these romances deserve more space in literature; beyond tropes, triangles, and tokenism. Love isn’t binary, and neither are our stories!
    Hosted by Natasha Hertanto, with JC Roycroft and Jasper Peach.

    Adults-Only Cheeky Poetry
    8pm – 9pm
    Where desire meets wordplay in a night of seductive and scandalous poetry. From sensual sonnets to downright dirty limericks, our poets deliver verses that tease, tempt, and turn up the heat. Leave your innocence at the door!
    Hosted by Fleassy Malay, with Jax Brown, Andrew Rose, PoetPre, Hal Simons and Bayley Turner.
