Poetry Market
The StAnza Poetry Market is always a highlight of the festival, an opportunity to encounter poetry in print in all its many forms. So it couldn’t be missing from our virtual festival in 2021! Browse the delights of stallholders, showcased on our website for the duration of the festival, and then drop by our Breakout Room Zoom event today to speak to publishers, magazines and artists, and find out what they have in their catalogues at present. We hope to offer virtual stalls galore with an abundance of poetic produce: something for every taste and pocket, come and browse, come and buy.
The Zoom link will be available on this page from 14:15 on 14 March.
