I know lots of poets don’t like the idea of poetry comps, but don’t forget that many of the organisers use any profits to re-invest in their mags, publishing ventures and festivals. What’s a fiver or even a tenner as a little gift to your favourite poetry event?

Our Stanza group was a bit ‘down’ on Fri. Lots of poems about state of the world and other dark themes. But getting together, even via Zoom, talking, writing, bearing witness, all important. We were there for one another 😍
