The National Memorial Arboretum at the National Forest in Staffordshire is currently looking to recruit a poet-in-residence.

They are looking for a talented freelance performance poet to undertake a poetry residency, for a period of up to a two years. The poet-in-residence will use the Arboretum’s evolving landscape, memorials, and the stories they represent as inspiration for a series of unique and original poems they will produce, that will help us share our stories with brand new audiences.

Applicants should have experience in developing and delivering participatory workshops with both school age and community adult groups, and should feel comfortable sharing their work in both small and large scale event environments.

The application deadline is 5 March.
