Poetry School

Announcing the 2018 Poetry in Aldeburgh Line-Up!
Over 100 of today’s most exciting poets from across the UK will come to the Suffolk coast to celebrate all things poetry with a weekend of 45 workshops, events and performances.
We take as themes climate change, queer identity, translation, art and more, and move to radically reclaim labels applied to women, celebrate major anniversaries and fuse film with poetry and dance.
... All are part of Poetry in Aldeburgh’s third festival of poetry, film and art by the sea, curated by Poetry School and poet Paul Stephenson.
Full line up and tickets now available at www.poetryinaldeburgh.org

Love the page and all the poet's on it. Its such a refreshing change to find something that doesn't promise the world at a ridiculous amount of money. I have spent many years chasing false promises and fake publishers. This page is the best place on fb for poetry and poets. ...xx
