A Love In! FSP 50th Anniversary Celebration – call out for readers

To celebrate us and those older poets who make up our rich history, the 7th November 2025 FSP City Meeting will follow a special format at the usual Box Factory venue.

30 volunteer poets are invited to read any poem by any poet from any FSP Reader or Anthology prior to number 30 along with a short biography of that poem’s author. The reader cannot read one of their own poems from these anthologies. However, they can read ONE poem of their own for consideration for 2025’s anthology. There will be no open mic.

Suggestions are now open and will be curated by David Cookson, on a first come, first served basis. Look through your collections, pick a poet and poem. Any obscure poet would be good. David reserves the right to discuss choices should there be a doubling up.

Closing date for suggestions is the 7th July 2025 FSP City Meeting.

Please use the form below to make your suggestion.
David will decide the final list of readers by the end of August 2025.

And, oh yeah, wear your 70s gear, flares and hair!!
We will have a birthday cake!!
