Join A New Stanza Poetry Group in Salisbury!
We're excited to invite you to join a group for like-minded poetry lovers in our area interested in developing a local poetry community. The Salisbury Stanza Poetry group will usually meet on the third Friday of the month.
Stanzas are groups run voluntarily by Poetry Society members, and they take a variety of forms. Some Stanzas meet to give feedback on each other's poems in progress, some are poetry reading groups, and some run impromptu open mic sessions.
Usually meeting once a month, groups’ primary aim is to make poetry accessible to everyone.
While the Stanza representative needs to be a Poetry Society member, the group is open to both members and non-members alike. Whether you're an experienced poet with publications under your belt or just starting to explore poetry, you'll be very welcome.
The group will be a supportive space where you can share and workshop poems in progress, discuss poetry and explore different styles and voices, exchange constructive feedback in a friendly environment, connect with like-minded poetry enthusiasts, and celebrate each other's successes and creative journeys. By joining, you'll become part of a network of poetry lovers across the country, with access to news, opportunities, competitions, and events run by The Poetry Society. You'll develop your craft with supportive peers and build lasting friendships with fellow poets.
Salisbury Stanza Group is hosted by local Poetry Society member Frances Owen. We look forward to sharing the joy of poetry with you!
