Find out how to…
• Submit your work to a publication or competition
• Perform at a poetry open mic
• Translate poems from another language
• Find out more about poets such as Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Browning, William Blake and Emily Dickinson
• Think about what to study at university
• Get writing tips from top name poets such as Jo Shapcott, Luke Kennard, C.K. Williams and Matthew Sweeney, as well as young poets from all over the world
• Be inspired by young writers and spoken word artists from the Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award and SLAMbassadors UK
And much more…
