As an English teacher and spoken word poet, Lucia plays with stories in the classroom and at the mic. She is a community and self-taught narrative poet whose work aims to turn unenjoyable life events into empowering performances. Her writing cradles tales of her past-self, family, Italian heritage, chronic illness, and love. Lucia is a recipient of the 2022 QWF Spoken Word Prize and a member of the 2023 Throw Poetry Collective slam team. In 2023, she performed at the 1st Accenti Magazine International Festival of the Arts in Italy, and in 2024, she shared her craft in cities across Australia.

"Lucia De Luca is a highly skilled and talented storyteller who is proof that the art of spoken word is very much alive and thriving amongst the younger generations. With a remarkable sense of rhythm, pacing, breath, and imagery, Lucia De Luca threads together stories that are personal and intimate, and yet resonate in a universal way. She is a rising star to watch out for!"
