Hello all!
Our next monthly meeting is quickly approaching. It will be taking place on the 17th of February at the Royal Wells Hotel in Tunbridge Wells as usual.
We start at 8pm with an Open Mic (one poem per reader, max 40 lines), followed by our guest poet: Stav Poleg.
Don’t forget: entry is free for members of the Kent & Sussex Poetry society, and £3 on the door for non-members. Please bring along any friends who may be interested in seeing what we do!
Stav Poleg is the author of the poetry collections THE BANQUET (shortlisted for the PEN Heaney Prize 2025) and THE CITY (shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney Poetry Prize for First Collection 2023). Her poetry has appeared on both sides of the Atlantic, in The New Yorker, Poetry Daily, Poetry London, Poetry Ireland Review, PN Review and elsewhere. Her work is featured in leading anthologies, including A Century of Poetry in The New Yorker (Knopf, 2025), The Forward Book of Poetry (Faber, 2024) and New Poetries VIII (Carcanet, 2021). She teaches for the Poetry School on a range of subjects including poetry inspired by the Divine Comedy, the Odyssey and the cinema of Fellini.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
