Previously at StAnza

Our Previously at StAnza pages form a rich poetry archive with information on poets and their work, visual art, festival and other events, images from years past and links to lectures, films and podcasts, plus a range of poetry news and reviews gathered over almost two decades. Whether you're trying to explain the magic of the lace sensor dresses to a friend (Stiched and Spoken, StAnza 2013), or want to double check whether you really could have seen Simon Armitage in St Andrews (search for Simon Armitage, StAnza 2015), this is the place to start. You can search content uploaded onto this website from November 2015 onwards, or look for material from our previous websites separately. Happy hunting!
