About Conversation Poetry

www.conversationpoetry.co.uk

Established in 2007, Conversation is a poetry magazine born of the ideas and discussion between a group of poets based in East Kent. Beginning as a group for readings and criticism in the basement of an Art Gallery in Canterbury, the publication emerged through the combined efforts of everyone involved. The aim was to get a high standard of poetry circulating in a free magazine full of the most well-crafted, thoughtful, meaningful and moving poetry we could find.

Since then we have raised the funds to get ourselves into print, run out of money again, and in that time gained enough of a reputation to make the decision to carry on regardless. So today, all current and back issues are available online to download free in pdf format. Currently edited by Christopher Hobday and David Nettleingham, Conversation sets its bar high in an attempt to bring out the best in Kentish poetry and increasingly further afield.

We aim to print the work of new and established poets, published and unpublished alike. We hope to open up a dialogue between the poet and the reader, and so choose writers who present interesting opportunities for people to engage with poetry. We hope that you are moved by the poetry in these volumes, and that you may feel inclined to take part in the tradition that we are attempting to both develop and establish anew.

The copyright for all poems remains with the poet. Any opinions expressed are those of the poet, not necessarily of the editors.
