Poetry is a great way of exploring what it means to be human and a poetry festival is a great way of bringing together a community to enjoy language and performance. Fawley Festival of poetry aims to touch the hidden poet in ordinary people. We hope it will inspire, move, challenge and nurture a love for language and expression.
The Festival of poetry has been planned to tie in with Easter and borrows the great themes of dying and / or living. These can be interpreted very widely, for example loss, disappointment, surprise, growth, dreams fulfilled or dreams frustrated, scenes in nature etc.
The style can be formal or informal, rhyming or free, serious or light-hearted.
All poems submitted will be exhibited in all Saints Church, Fawley on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st of March. This combines with a poetry workshop and poetry performance evening from 4pm - 7.30pm on Saturday 20th.
A panel of judges will select poems for the evening performance. Those chosen will be notified in advance. You could be invited to perform your poem (although somebody else can perform it if the poet prefers). There will also be a prize for the poem judged best in each category. There is also a poetry workshop on the Saturday afternoon.
