Join us on Zoom for our online Poetry Review reading group. Dive into the Spring 2026 issue of the Review with fellow poetry enthusiasts and explore the diverse voices and themes that shape contemporary poetry. This interactive reading group will guide you through standout pieces, spark thoughtful discussions, and provide a deeper appreciation of the issue’s poems. 

Whether you’re a seasoned poet, a curious reader, or somewhere in between, this event is a welcoming and relaxed space to connect with others over poetry. Bring your thoughts, questions, and your favourite lines from the latest issue – we can’t wait to hear what speaks to you!

The session will be faciliated by Julia Bird, poet and former Poetry Society staff member. Julia now works for an intergenerational arts charity and on a micro-publishing project with Mike Sims. Check out their latest publications at the Free Verse Book Fair or at blownrose.net
