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 December) then you will find us here at poetryaloud.org.uk.

Unfortunately we have to have various protections in place to stop the many bad people out there who are constantly trying to add things we really don't want on the site.

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.
