1 *** PRESS RELEASE 29 June 2015 *** National Poetry Day lights up the nation at 21 National Poetry Day, the nationwide celebration of poetry and all things poetical, will mark its 21 st anniversary on Thursday 8 October The day is an opportunity to break with the tyranny of prose for 24 hours by thinking of a poem and sharing it in imaginative ways. Expect impromptu pop-up poetry festivals in thousands of unexpected places, from shops, streets and offices to doctors waiting rooms and railway stations. On BBC Radio 4, Andrew Marr, Dominic West and some of Britain s most-loved poets and performers will mark the day by weaving poetry into the schedule from early morning until late at night. We British: An Epic in Poetry will tell the story of Britain through its poetry, from the earliest verses ever written on the British Isles to some of the most recent. This year s National Poetry Day theme is Light: proprietors of power stations and lighthouses, opticians, photographers and firework-makers are among the professions pledged to participate by displaying poems. National Poetry Day is co-ordinated by the Forward Arts Foundation, a charity that celebrates poetry and promotes it as part of everyday life. With MacMillan Children s Books, it has nominated seven leading children s poets as National Poetry Day Ambassadors, with special responsibility for igniting enthusiasm nationwide. The best of their freshly composed poems on the subject of light will be launched into the air over the nation by balloon, rocket and paper plane. The Forward Arts Foundation awards the annual Forward Prizes for Poetry and publishes the Forward Book of Poetry, an indispensable anthology of the year s best poems. In London, The Poetry Society and Southbank centre are handing over the reins of one of the year s biggest poetry events of the year to young poetry producers who will curate a day of free poetry readings, films, performances and workshops at the Clore ballroom. Last year s event was packed with great
2 2 performances, ranging from Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson, to Forward Prize winner Kei Miller. This is the chance to see some of the biggest names in poetry, alongside those writers and performers regarded as the future of poetry. Poet in the City will be hosting a Poetry Breakfast at the Bloomsbury Hotel, presenting prize-winning young poet Helen Mort. At day s end, expect an evening of poetry and music with David Harsent and Madeleine Mitchell at the London lighting shop Ligne Roset City. In the week leading up to National Poetry Day, poems in the store s glass front will provide inspiration to passersby. In Wales four young poets will be locked up to compose 100 poems in Welsh in twenty four hours, on subjects chosen by the public. The participants in Literature Wales Her 100 Cerdd will take suggestions via social media and BBC Radio Cymru, posting the results online. The Poetry Archive will have a limited edition National Poetry Day download collection available in October on its website. In honour of this year s theme, it will be a bundle of light featuring well-known voices reading poems that refer to light. In Scotland, 380,000 poetry postcards will be given away by the Scottish Poetry Library, which will also launch a residency of an early career poet with BBC Radio Scotland - a unique position and the first of its kind for Scotland The days leading up to National Poetry Day will be charged with events, including the announcement of the winners of the Forward Prizes for Poetry, Britain s most talked about poetry prizes, live on 28 th September at the Southbank centre.
