    The Poetry Society

    The Poetry Society was founded in 1909 to promote “a more general recognition and appreciation of poetry”. Since then, it has grown into one of Britain’s most dynamic arts organisations, representing British poetry both nationally and internationally. Today it has more than 4000 members worldwide and publishes the leading poetry magazine, The Poetry Review.

    With innovative education and commissioning programmes and a packed calendar of performances, readings and competitions, the Poetry Society champions poetry for all ages.

    “The Poetry Society is the heart and hands of poetry in the UK – a centre which pours out energy to all parts of the poetry-body, and a dexterous set of operations which arrange and organise poetry’s various manifestations. It has a long distinguished history, and has never been so vital, or so vitalizing as it is now.” Sir Andrew Motion

    Kevin Patrick McCarthy - Enough Sky Jun 12, 2015
    Show notes

    'Enough Sky' was commended in The Poetry Society's 2014 National Poetry Competition. From the judges: 'From the start, 'Enough Sky' impresses with its tight lyricism and careful adjectives. It is delightfully elusive and warrants repeated reading. A poem which crept up on me and won me over with its spell and its surprising phrases - 'urging tangerine starward', 'seeking gauze to pull away''. This is a poem which feels longer than it is because it packs in a lot - lush and distilled.'' - Roddy Lumsden. Image: Moonrise over Ghost Ranch © Steve O'Bryan www.wildbasinphotography.com
