One Night Stanzas

“There are loads of sites out there to which you can submit your poetry – who needs another one? – but there are not so many about poetry and when I was in my late teens and early twenties that was what I wanted to read.” - Jim Murdoch,, writer.

“Information and opinion on everything from being a writer to publishing and inspiration. I’d say, if you’re a poet, brilliant; if you’re not, it’s great anyway and might just spark some poetry within you as well.” - Richard Galbraith, writer.

“Designed to guide young or inexperienced writers through some of the thornier thickets of life as a poet… it’s a useful site with lots of good advice, worth a look even for those of us with a modicum of experience under our belts.” - Andrew Philip, writer.

“A gorgeous site and great initiative to get people energised about poetry and improving their own writing.” - Charlotte Runcie, young poet.
