welcome
from Coffee-House Poetry organiser, Anne-Marie Fyfe
Here comes summer, at last, & news of Coffee-House Poetry’s 2022 ‘summer camp’, in a new twelve-week format that will have you producing exciting new writing, on a concept we all think we know but have yet to explore, perhaps, in all its fascinating complexity, on a voyage of discovery that will take us far into the unknown: check out Home Truth: Architecture & Longing, starts Sun 22 May.
Transatlantic #poetrymonday conversations continue with a difference, as Tom Sleigh & Cahal Dallat (in Brooklyn & London, with new collections publ. Feb & Apr, respectively) will both read & ‘interview’ each other re their new work & poetry in general: that’s Mon 23 May, 8pm (see right.)
And in other news, our 2022 judges, Joshua Bennett — whom many of you heard on our transatlantic #poetrymonday Zoom some months ago — & Eliot-prize shortlisted Carcanet author, Victoria Kennefick, are looking forward to reading your Troubadour International Poetry Prize poems (all via email, submission & online payment details on our prizes page, & do check out 2021’s winning poems here, as announced at last December’s prize night).
