About Us

Poetry Aloud Website mission statement

This website has the same philosophy as the poetry reading group with which it is associated – to provide local poets with a sympathetic platform from which to read (or in this case narrowcast) their work.

Poetry Aloud

We provide any poet who comes to our meetings with a sympathetic platform from which to read their work.  We do not criticise or analyse but offer an encouraging ear.

There is, of course, a warm welcome for those who come along to listen.

If you cannot visit us at our regular meetings at Benson Blakes in Bury St Edmunds at 7:30pm on the last Tuesday of each month (except August & December) then you will find us here at poetryaloud.org.uk.

Elisabeth Rowe at Sudbury

Wed, 03/02/2010 - 10:56 — Cameron Hawke Smith

Calling all Poetry Aloud followers! Elisabeth Rowe will be travelling all the way from Devon to read at the Sudbury Cafe Poets on Wednesday 10th February at 7.30pm.

A colleague and friend of the U.A.Fanthorpe Elisabeth left her teaching job at Cheltenham to become a social worker. Her book 'Surface Tension' was described as showing 'an intense relationship with landscape, a gently satirical exploration of human behavious and a strong elegiac vein'.

New User's Guide

Thu, 17/09/2009 - 16:40 — Poetry Aloud admin

The Poetry Aloud website has grown in complexity and some people have asked for a guide. Here it is, but if it seems incomplete note that this document will develop over time.

How to contact us/submit poems

There is a contact form under the 'Contact Us' item on the left menu. This presents a form that can be sent to one of two 'Categories'. The 'Poetry Aloud' option will send the e-mail to Rob Lock, the 'Website' option will send it to Colin Whyles, the webmaster.

If you wish to submit poems, it is easiest to e-mail them directly to Colin on web.poetryaloud@gmail.com. You can attach your poems to your e-mail that way, which you cannot using the contact form.
