Anyone who wishes to share their own poetry is welcome, but is advised to come early.

excerpt from Editors note:
The review contains poems from a number of highly regarded and renowned poets, Maurice Riordan, Henry Shukman, Jamie McKendrick, Sarah Maguire, Neil Rollinson, Jane Duran, Andy Brown. It also contains poetry from poets new to publishing their work.
The book is dedicated to two great poets, sadly lost to us, Ken Smith and Michael Donaghy who read for us and were considered friends and supporters.
Featured Book:
Our featured book this month is Peter Porter's Afterburner from Picador. A multiple-award winning writer, Peter Porter was born in Australia and moved to London in 1951. His awards include the Whitbread Poetry Award (1988), Gold Medal for Australian Literature (1990) and the Forward Poetry Prize (2002). This collection, his latest, was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize. Make sure you have a good look at Afterburner in store or on amazon.
