From weird and wonderful creatures, to the gentle buzz of honeybees, to the flutter of birds’ wings, we’ll have poems to soothe your soul and inspire change.

We’re sure there will be something for everyone, even if you don’t consider yourself a poetry fan!

Founded by Joy Howard in 2007, Grey Hen Press have published over 20 anthologies, which showcase the particularity of women’s voices, and give less well-known poets the opportunity of having their work published alongside that of established writers.

 

This is one of our ‘Take Part’ events this autumn!
