Welcome!
Welcome to https://warpoets.wordpress.com, the weblog of the War Poets Association (see our website at www.warpoets.org).
We aim to be an international site and association on war poetry, the war poets and their lives and work. One objective in setting up this blog is that the War Poets Association (WPA) will be able to publicise many relevant war poetry events from around the world here. Individuals can post news of events or other information directly to the blog, which is moderated.
Please contribute in a language other than English if you wish – we ask only that you tell us which language it is, if that is not already clear to English users.
Here’s our list of forthcoming war poetry-related events for November or after:
Not a member of the WPA? Join today!
Please follow the relevant link below for more information about each event. If you know of a forthcoming event or publication and would like it to be included here, but cannot post the information directly, e-mail editor@warpoets.org.
