FRIENDS! Our judge for the 2024 #WFPoetryComp , Jacqui Saphra, has picked FRIENDSHIP as the theme. We'll open in late May/early June and will close in September, so plenty of time find poems on the theme. More info on pctothepowerof2.wordpress.com when we launch.

The Poetry Society are 'deeply touched to read all the warm comments coming in about our much-loved Poetry Cafe'. There's no announcement about a permanent re-opening yet but enquiries about booking the space should be sent to [email protected]
