The
annual anthology is our annual magazine to display new writers.
When the new annual anthology is due out, and the competitions
are closed, we reduce the price of our previous book so that the
books are available and affordable to all.
This
book will shortly be available for download as an e-book at the
price of £1.00
The
People's Poet Anthology 2003 -
The very first annual anthology from The
People's Poet. Highly collectable.
Text
from the back cover
Vote for your People's Poet on
the form inside!
Welcome
to a new concept in poetry publication.
The
People's Poet was devised by Paula Brown to provide a real opportunity
for publication to new poets, without costing the writer a penny.
The
writers and visitors to the website www.thepeoplespoet.co.uk
have been busy all year submitting work, reading and interacting
with each other and most importantly selecting
the contents of this book.
The
panellists have selected their personal favourites, forming
approximately half of the contents of the book and the remainder
has been chosen by the writers and readers themselves online.
By
purchasing this book, you have supported new poetry Worldwide.
Thank
you
