Jo Bell, Norman Hadley

For the 52 weeks of 2014, Jo Bell ran online poetry group 52 under the banner "Write a poem a week. Start now. Keep going." A unique brand of collective critical encouragement generated the largest workshopping group in the world. The resulting community has claimed prizes and publications ranging from Bridport to the Rialto, from the Charles Causley prize to valued fellowships and PhD places.

Join some of the 52ers including organisers Jo Bell and Norman Hadley for a celebratory reading, and to hear work from a new anthology published by our publisher in residence, Nine Arches Press.
