Voluntary poetry group from the Poetry Society's Stanza network where members share, workshop and discuss poems.
The Salisbury Stanza Poetry Group meets at Salisbury Arts Centre on Friday 20 November, starting at 6:30pm. It's a local group for poetry lovers to share, workshop and discuss poems in a supportive environment, and it's open to everyone regardless of where you're at with your writing.
What happens on the night can vary. The group is part of the Poetry Society's national Stanza network, which is made up of groups run voluntarily by Poetry Society members. Because they're run by volunteers, they take a few different forms: some focus on giving feedback on poems in progress, others act as poetry reading groups, and some lean into impromptu open mic sessions. The common thread is making poetry accessible to everyone, so whether you're coming to read your own work, hear others, or just talk about poems you like, you'll fit in.
While the group's representative has to be a Poetry Society member, the sessions themselves are open to all. If you do decide to join the Society, you get access to their news, opportunities, competitions and events on top of the local meetings. It's a good way to get involved with a wider community of poets beyond Salisbury.
