Voices for Change – Poetry Submissions

Here it is, short and sweet!

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the ‘ Voices for Change’ project. We really appreciate your talented efforts. As promised all the submissions are published below. There are a good number and they are very diverse in terms of themes and style. 

Over the coming weeks the literary judges Danuta Kot and Susannah Evans will be selecting the poems for the anthology which will be published some time next year. Actual dates and number of poems and format are still under discussion. We will be in touch in the near future with more details. 

Again thanks and regards,
