We are delighted to be hosting our third edition of In The Company of Poems, our celebrated online reading event.

This edition celebrates our forthcoming anthology, Poems as Friends - The Poetry Exchange10th Anniversary Anthology, which will be published by Quercus Editions on 9th May 2024. You will hear a wonderful array of the poems featured in the anthology, each of which has been a friend to someone who has visited The Poetry Exchange over the last 10 years.
