Moor Poets A b o u t U s |
|
Moor Poets is a Dartmoor-based group of writers ranging from established
poets to beginners who are tentatively putting pen to paper for the first
time. It arose from Pat Fleming’s inspiration to produce a contemporary
anthology of poetry written by people living on or near Dartmoor.
Funded by a Tarka Country Millennium Award Moor Poets Volume I was published in July 2003 and a second volume was launched on 2nd December 2005. Both Volumes I and II are available through bookshops, using the following ISBN numbers.
In Summer 2008, Uncharted, a CD of 20 members' readings was released. This is a studio recorded set of 37 poems on a wide range of subjects. If there are any difficulties obtaining books or CD, please contact Jennie Osborne (jenniedancing@googlemail.com). Moor Poets organises writing workshops at moorland venues for people of all abilities with the aim of encouraging creative writing right across the board. Workshops have also been held for prisoners in HMP Dartmoor, some of whose work appeared in both Volume I and Volume II. |
