Poem-A-Thon at the Poetry Cafe · 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.

On 18 May I'm taking part in a 10 hour Poem-a-thon to raise funds for the Poetry Society. 60 poets will be reading for 8 minutes each and I'll be reading poems from the first volume of my 'To London' book, plus some from the second volume which is due out later in 2019. 

The Poetry Society have been a great supporter of Carers UK's creative writing competition which I've coordinated for the past five years and it will be a real honour to be reading in the hallowed basement of their Covent Garden offices. Anything you can contribute will be really appreciated.
