Announcing our collaboration with Poetry Society UK: The UK’s Poetry Society runs one of the most prestigious
English-language poem competitions. Since 1978 its winners and
runners-up have been going on to become active, successful poets, and
even a Laureate. This year, some of those poets are touring the
internet, telling the stories of their own journeys, each of which
started with one poem’s Big Day Out. We're pleased to welcome the Poetry Society to the blog for a week of posts and poems. For more information about the competition, go here.
