The Thursday Post: Commonwealth Poets Blogs United - 15.5.2014

{ Post }

We’re past the halfway mark now with our Commonwealth Poets United project. Just in case you’re unaware of what it is – Commonwealth Poets United is an international exchange between six Scottish poets and poets from six Commonwealth nations:  Canada, India, Jamaica, New Zealand, Nigeria and South Africa. The idea is to establish relationships between artists, organisations and communities. While in Scotland our Commonwealth visiting poets take part in book festivals, visit schools and get to know their exchange partners.
