Sheffield has always been a big player on the national poetry stage, with recent poet laureates Otis Mensah and Warda Yassin representing the city’s diversity of thought, culture and ideas. Home to Booker Prize winning poet A. S. Byatt, our vibrant city is full of a rich literary history dating back centuries.
But here at Forge we want to highlight the abundance of talent that resides here and now amongst the student population at the University of Sheffield.
That’s why we are introducing Showcasing Student Poetry.
This year, National Poetry Day falls tomorrow, Thursday 6th October. Throughout the days following, we will be publishing a range of original student poetry here in the Arts & Theatre section.
Stay tuned for some amazing works!
