Welcome To Shortlands Poetry Circle.
Over 100 years of poetry appreciation. Members & visitors meet twice a month during term time to share poems on particular topics or by particular poets. Visitors are very welcome. Just turn up or contact us. Come and join us for the pleasure of poetry in a friendly atmosphere (bring 2 poems to read, but not your own, 1 must be short) and a long chat over tea and biscuits.
President: Anne Stewart.
Membership Secretary: Christine Pope 020 8464 9810

About Poetry
‘Everything you invent is true: you can be sure of that. Poetry is a subject as precise as geometry.’ ~ Julian Barnes
Most of our meetings are ‘face to face’ at our regular venue in Bromley, Kent. We also have some meetings online using Zoom. Our programmes and venue details are online athttp://www.poetrypf.co.uk/shortlands.html#Events, including for our annual Summer Celebration when Guest Poets are invited and we have a ‘slap-up’ buffet… We also have links on our poetry p f page (http://www.poetrypf.co.uk) to ‘good places to find poetry’ and other information such as Nobel Prize winning poets, Liverpool Poets, local poets and Laureate lists.
The Link To Find Events
The link to The Poetry Library (on the right hand side of the page) offers much more. Besides News, Events and Competitions you can search the Poetry Library catalogue and see which magazines are stocked. Give it a try.
