October is National Poetry Month The British Festival “October is National Poetry Month” was founded by Celtic Bard Jim MacCool in the year 2000 and was adopted by the Birmingham-based Performance Poetry Society that same year. From makeshift beginnings, National Poetry Month has been exploited by primary and secondary schools, colleges of further education, public library services, the prison estate, and to a lesser extent, more localised festivals. Professional Poets appear in all corners of the United Kingdom under the aegis of the Performance Poetry Society, which co-ordinates a certain proportion of their efforts and ensures that they are paid a normal rate for their appearances. |
