Festival Themes
Each festival focuses on two themes which weave around each other to give that year's StAnza its own unique flavour. For 2008 Poetry & Conflict brought to the festival poets and speakers with experience ranging from war poetry to critical analysis to service in a theatre of war. Sea of Tongues took in many different events and was built round the largest number of non-Anglophone poets from both the UK and abroad ever to take part in StAnza.
