the Poetry Workshop web place

Launched on 29 June 2008 at Pentameters Theatre in London, this anthology celebrating our 25th anniversary (containing poems by each of the current workshop participants and by David Winzar) came out under the Aark Arts imprint. Copies are available from individual poets and from Aark Arts (atlasaarkarts@gmail.com). The cover price is £11.99 | €17.99 | $23.99 | Rs299.

The back cover description reads:
“Divers sets out 101 poems by the poetry workshop, an assembly of both well-known and emerging poets who engage regularly in the close reading of each other’s work. These writers — although from very diverse backgrounds and with often widely differing aesthetic and intellectual concerns — have in common one thing: a serious interest in ‘workshopping’ as part of their creative and critical practice. This anthology celebrates 25 years of the group’s existence, showing the range of its members today. Their individual voices — variously lyrical, narrative, formalist, paratactic, humorous, philosophical, allusive, or exact — manifest the spectrum of contemporary poetry in English.”
