Poetry Please

The proposed title of the Harbour Poets’ Anthology is ‘Essential Journey’.   On Feb 3rd 2009 schools, universities, offices, shops and councils across the UK were closed due to heavy snowfall and the public were urged to venture out only if their journey was absolutely necessary.  On that day there was a well attended meeting of Harbour Poets.  All agreed that Poetry was an Essential Journey.

Ged is part of the Harbour Poets group, based in Weymouth, Dorset.  An anthology of their work will be published in June by Bardic Media.
