About Poetry London
Poetry
London's artistic vision is based on the understanding that
'the best poetry' includes the broadest variety of styles and
subjects, and that the very best of that poetry often acts as an
unacknowledged catalyst for change. Our understanding of change is
that it is argumentative and uninhibited and Poetry London will do
all it can to encourage that kind of poetry and be a home to it.
Poetry London is committed to supporting, empowering, and uplifting
racially and ethnically marginalized writers.
