Oxford Brookes Poetry Centre

Description

The Poetry Centre, which is based within the School of Education, Humanities and Languages at Oxford Brookes University, was launched in 1998, and hosts an annual programme of events, which includes conferences and research seminars, workshops, exhibitions, poetry readings, and community projects. The Centre also acts as a base for the extensive research being done into poetry in the school.

In 2017, the Poetry Centre established ignitionpress, an award-winning poetry pamphlet press with an international outlook which publishes original, arresting poetry from emerging poets.

The Centre has also run an annual International Poetry Competition with two categories for entries: Open and English as an Additional Language. The competition usually runs from May until September and there are more details on the competition page.
