Anthology 2020 update (3)

We welcome Sarah Radford as co-editor of the 2020 Anthology alongside Glen R Johns.

Please note the the size limit for on-line submissions to the Anthology is 600 words per total submission. Remember, you must use the on-line submission form to submit your poem for consideration in the Anthology. Any other form of attempted submission will be ignored. And you must be a member of FSP to have your submission considered.

FSP Anthology 45 on-line poetry submissions – updated

The annual anthology publishes a selection of poems by FSP members. Normally, all original poems read by members of Friendly Street Poets at an official FSP meeting, whether in the city or at a regional centre, are eligible to be selected for publication in the anthology. However, with face to face meetings cancelled for the foreseeable future, obviously this year will be slightly different. Poems submitted at the in-person meetings already held remain eligible, but for (most likely) some months at least, we will be accepting digital submissions.

To submit to our Annual Anthology 45 you must do so here via the Submission Form below.… Click for more
