Southbank Centre New Poets Collective 2022-2023
Deadline: Mon 4 Jul 2022
With support from the TS Eliot Foundation, our New Poets Collective recruits a new cohort of UK-based poets every year, helping them to hone their skills and expand their knowledge and confidence. The programme is centred around the National Poetry Library and is free.
We’re looking for a group of poets aged 22+* who represent our diverse communities. Applicants must be resident in the UK and must not yet have had a collection of poetry published by a professional publishing company (applications from self-published poets are welcomed). They should have an interest in all forms of poetry, both on the page and in performance. We welcome poets working across all genres including page, spoken word, Instagram poetry and visual poetry. *This is a suggested minimum age. There is no upper age limit.
We especially welcome applications from underrepresented communities: Black, Asian and Ethnically Diverse poets, LGBTQI+ poets, disabled or neuro-diverse poets, and poets from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
The New Poets Collective begins at the London Literature Festival in October 2022. Lead tutors Vanessa Kisuule and Will Harris, and special guest poets, lead monthly sessions for the group. The programme culminates in presentations at the London Literature Festival 2023 and an anthology.
