Poem-A-Thon for the Poetry Society · 18 May 2019

Founded in 1909, The Poetry Society is the leading voice for poets and poetry in the UK. We champion poetry for all ages, developing generations of new writers through our magazine The Poetry Review, talent development schemes, commissions, and innovative work with schools and young people.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Please sponsor me! I'm one of 60 poets performing at the Poem-A-Thon at the Poetry Cafe, Covent Garden, on Saturday 18 May. The Poem-A-Thon will be non-stop from 12pm to 10pm (10 hours!), each poet performing for 8 minutes. (I'm reading at 17.40) Event details are on https://poetrysociety.org.uk/event/poemathon/ and I hope you can also come along! 

What are we raising funds for? The aim of the Poem-A-Thon is to raise funds for The Poetry Society and each of the 60 poets will be hoping to get sponsorship from friends and family. Money raised will help maintain the development and upkeep of The Poetry Society premises in Covent Garden and support The Poetry Society's mission generally, advocating poetry through the delivery of education and talent-development programmes, and to continue to publish the UK’s leading poetry journal, The Poetry Review.

Your support would be brilliant - thank you in advance!
