Poetry in Motion Community
Poetry in Motion Community is New Belfast’s literary programme for local writers and aspiring writers.
30 June 2010 - Poetry in Motion Community is really putting itself on the map this year, the new Belfast poetry map.
Six poets are currently working in communities across Belfast to encourage participants to write about the places they know well. Poets have been spotted at St. George’s Market, in community centres, libraries, hospitals, on street corners and in shopping centres. They will also be taking up residence at festivals throughout the summer.
The poets are there to help you put pen to paper – or your voice to digital recording devices (such is the age of technology in which we live!) to speak out about the places you think should be on the Belfast Poetry Map.
We are also starting to receive submissions by email and post from budding poets across Belfast (and beyond) who have a yearning to write about the places that spark a memory or a moment of reflection.
If you’d like to get involved visit our poetry map (www.newbelfastarts.org/poetrymap) page to discover how to make submissions or to find a workshop in your area.
The programme runs until the end of September 2010.
If you’d like any further information please email chelley@newbelfastarts.org
Poetry in Motion Community’s poetry collections are featured in the Publication page.
