Poetry NI +

Welcome to POETRY NI+.

First set up in February 2014, evolving from various separate ventures, Poetry NI+ is a multimedia, multi-platform showcase and resource provider for poets, showcasing great writing through new writing, publications, readings, open mics, sound releases, workshops and more.

Our projects include
PURELY POETRY: our monthly live poetry night at Crescent Arts Centre, Belfast;
PANNING FOR POEMS: our print-out, fold-up micro-poetry micro-journal;
FILL YOUR BOOKS!: An ongoing series of mini interviews with writers and other creatives about their favourite books and current reads;
RANCID IDOLS PRODUCTIONS: Our digital publishing wing, releasing experimental sounds, spoken word, pamphlets and e-books.

Initially, we focused solely on work by poets from or residing in Northern Ireland. But wanting to spread our wings and support other creatives and avenues, we've added the '+'. We also organise readings, projects and workshops from time to time for local festivals and organisations. We've worked with the likes of Belfast Book Festival, Aspects Literary Festival, Poetry Ireland, Verbal Arts Centre, Lagan Online, Open Arts, Arts & Disability Forum, Crescent Arts Centre, Newcastle Arts Festival, Stendhal Festival, FSNI National Poetry Competition, Aware NI and more.
