welcome
from Coffee-House Poetry organiser, Anne-Marie Fyfe
What better way to spend the days from now to spring (that are more than half ‘night’ anyway) than being absorbed in an imaginative & inspiring nocturnal exploration of the many shades of night, celestial & terrestrial, at home, in the wilds or on city streets, waking or in that wild disjointed world we traverse in the somnolent small hours… (see full course description, right).
Booking now, start next Sunday (26th) & make the most of your writing time on those early evenings & long dark mornings over the next seven weeks.
Also watch for news of our March 10 #poetrmonday featuring major US poet, Mark Doty.
And do check out ( on our poems page) winners & commendeds in the Troubadour International Poetry Prize from around the world (see pic below) with (top row) 2024 judges Jane Yeh & Glyn Maxwell together with winners (bottom row) Imogen Wade (1st), Victoria Korth (3rd) & Weijia Pan (2nd) who read along with our 20 special commendations on Mon 9 Dec plus poems from the judges, & their thoughts on the poems that made it to the top of the stack!
