Poet Service Announcement
There follows a brief poet service announcement ...
Hello Balloonists!![]()
Jonathan here!
On Thursday October 6th, in the UK, we have National Poetry Day; a day when poetry is celebrated throughout the realm.
The theme this year is 'The Environment'.
While we wait for the launch of our much anticipated anthology 'Chasing Clouds', here at the Dirigible Balloon we thought we'd open a submission window for poets to send us work on the National Poetry Day theme. This opportunity follows our usual guidelines and is open for poets around the world.
We will keep the window open until one hour before the actual day itself.
So, if you have a poem you'd like us to consider, please send it to the usual address.
Thank you!
