National Poetry Day
Win a copy of Poetry for a Change!
It’s National Poetry Day on 4th October, a day for everyone to read, write and share poetry.
If you looking for poems to read, don’t miss the brand new anthology Poetry for a Change.
Published specially for National Poetry Day, it features new poems by lots of our favourite poets including Matt Goodfellow, Michaela Morgan, Joseph Coelho, Remi Graves and Joshua Seigal. They’ve also chosen poems on the theme of change, that have inspired them.
For a taster of this great book, watch Matt Goodfellow and Michaela Morgan reading their poems in the Poetry Reading Club
We have three copies of this fabulous book to give away!
How to enter
All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is tell us what you are going to be doing to celebrate on National Poetry Day. You might be going to hear a poet, writing poems, or just reading a poem – we don’t mind!
