welcome
from Coffee-House Poetry organiser, Anne-Marie Fyfe
Delighted to announce a brand new course.
I’ve had a fascinating time over many months developing this tree-themed workshop: reading widely, researching, & lots of woody, leafy field-work too. All about getting in touch with the deep psychological & mythical resonances of trees, & their place in our lives, memories, imaginations, & poetry. Lots more under ‘next event’ (see right), and on our courses & classes page.
And a reminder that our 2023 judges for the Troubadour International Poetry Prize are Mona Arshi, Visiting Fellow Commoner in Creative Arts at Trinity College, Cambridge, & Tom Sleigh, Distinguished Professor at New York’s Hunter College.
£3,500 in prizes, with winners invited to read with judges (live & online) at West London’s Bedford Park Festival ‘Yeats Birthday’ reading next June, & with all prize proceeds going to support the WB Yeats Bedford Park Artwork Project.
Poems on any subject, all via email submission & online payment, by Sun 10th Dec, full details on our prizes page!
