Six months on, and we don’t want to big ourselves up TOO much but these are the sort of responses The Friday Poem has been getting recently:
“Possibly the best Friday morning for some time! Thank you for publishing the poem and for your lovely, appreciative comment on it. I’m delighted to be part of the Friday Poem clan of poets — I’ve so enjoyed every Friday offering you’ve published.”
“I have to say, I’m loving the site. Always a treat to have that poem drop in on a Friday, and the articles I’ve read have been brilliant. I love the space you give each poem – never known anything quite like that – and in a weird way the fact it’s only one a week makes me so much more likely to actually read them! Thank you for all the work and care that goes into it.”
“Thanks for your work on The Friday Poem … I always enjoy a poem dropping into my inbox on a Friday morning (even if they do often go unread till Saturday!). Very best for the continuation of the project.”
“I do read the Friday Poem and enjoy. Keep up the good work!”
“I always read TFP with interest. You’re doing an outstanding job. The culture is up to the brim with modish identikit shit and you have just cut past that and given us a pluralist poetry magazine (if that’s what it is) full of poems and ideas again. Reading it is like walking into a teenager’s bedroom in the morning and opening a window wide. I bet a lot of people feel the same.”
We welcome poems from everyone, all over the world, and we’re happy to hear pitches for reviews and features. So why don’t you join the Friday Poem clan — submit a poem here, or tell us what you’d like to write about, or would like to read about. We’re all ears …
