Young Poet Pages

Issue #1 now live!

The first issue of our new Youth Members' pages is now available for viewing. Edited by Julia Rampen, it features a range of poems by current and recent Youth Members, as well as articles by Julia. We've also included poetry readings from a small gathering of Youth Members that took place in January this year.

We want to grow the pages according to what you want to see. What would be helpful? An 'Ask the Editor' section? Interviews with poets? Ideas to get you writing? A feedback space? Competitions? Tell us what you'd like to see and we'll try and incorporate it.

Submissions

First and most important thing: you have to be a current Youth Member in order to submit to these pages. If you're not, and aged 11-18, then you might want to consider becoming a Youth Member.

When you send things to us, we'll send them on to a guest editor to compile favourites. You can send us: 

  • poems
  • reviews
  • articles about poems
  • interviews with poets
  • anything else you think is relevant!

If you're not sure about sending us something, then the best thing is to ask, but we're very open to anything poetry-related.

If you're interested, then email us or write to us by post at:

There will also be events at the Poetry Cafe in Covent Garden where we'll be inviting you to come down to the cafe and read some of your poetry or just enjoy the atmosphere.

We hope these pages act as a platform to get you talking about ideas, poems you love and most of all sharing and writing poetry in a supportive, creative atmosphere.
