welcome
from Coffee-House Poetry organiser, Anne-Marie Fyfe
With current themed creative-writing course, Solitary Spaces, coming to an end, & Between the Lines masterclass starting Fri 3 Mar, our next themed course offers a chance to explore the poetry of night in Nocturne (see right) over nine weeks from Sun 5 Mar. Meet me on the dark side!
And just a reminder of the outstanding poems that captivated judges Victoria Kennefick & Joshua Bennett & that we got to hear from 2022 Troubadour International Poetry Prize winners — Jonathan Edwards, first prize, £2,000, Anna Crowe, second, £1,000, Robert Maslen third, £500 — & from twenty excellent ‘commendeds’ on our Mon 5 Dec international Zoom, along with super readings from Victoria & Joshua.
Check out poets & poems here, & read what our judges had to say about the 2022 judging process!
