As part of our 50th year, FSP invites all our poets to contribute to CHRONICLE: A celebration of Friendly Street Poets’ first 50 years..
We want to know what it means to us all to have had Friendly Street Poets as a meeting place
and forum. The things you remember. The people. The oddities. The events or social
movements that have shaped Friendly Street Poets. The highlights and lowlights.
What we’re looking for is your memories in short vignettes, poetry or prose to a
maximum of 500 words.
The more contributors the better.
We are aiming to launch the book at the December 2025 City Meeting of FSP.
Absolute deadline for submissions: midnight 31 July 2025
Late submissions will not be considered.
You would help enormously by not leaving your contribution to the last minute.
Contributions can be sent by the form below to Erica Jolly and Kirsty Willet for possible inclusion in this chronicle, including your name, email, postal address and phone number with a statement confirming permission to publish. They can have been read at Friendly Street as part of the three-minute time allocated for members but they CANNOT be submitted (‘in the box’ or online) for the 2025 anthology.
You do not need to be a current member of FSP to contribute a memory.
