On Friday, Julia Lajta-Novak, Claire Palzer & Shefali Banerji had a wonderful time at the AAUTE conference in Salzburg. We were thrilled to learn about research undertaken by our colleagues at various Austrian institutions & to introduce the “Poetry Off the Page” project!

Pete The Temp 's reflections
'On Poetry, Comedy & Stand Up Poetry' - well worth viewing!

‘Booker prize-winning author Bernardine Evaristo has criticised the “amputation” of Black British literature and queer history courses at Goldsmiths [...] as part of a cost-cutting programme in which 130 academic jobs are to go.’

Dis Poetry by Benjamin Zephaniah (Channel 4) 1985

Have you all heard of the new book series 'Poetry in the Digital Age' published by De Gruyter Brill ? It is edited by our sister project Poetry in the Digital Age, and there's another volume coming on performance, with two contributions from Poetry Off the Page...

There's still over a month left for submissions to our special collection - so if you haven't submitted anything yet, now's the time to do so! We're so, so excited to read everyone's texts; check the CfP below for details!

A rare chance to hear Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin in Vienna!

“We’re poetry performance researchers. Of course we’ll say yes when asked to organise an open mic for a conference✨”

Or however that trend goes! (Claire Palzer 👀)

This was #YouthMediaLife X Poetry Off the Page open mic last night, and it was phenomenal! ✨
