Join the Steering Group for the Isle of Wight Poet Laureate
We're putting together a steering group to help shape the creation of the first-ever Isle of Wight Poet Laureate. This committee will guide the process — from developing the application criteria to helping promote the role and ensure it's accessible, inclusive, and meaningful to our whole community.
You can read a proposal for the Poet Laureate Project here.
We’re looking for people from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences such as writers, educators, community leaders, artists, and poetry lovers of all kinds. You don’t need to be an expert in poetry, just passionate about supporting creativity on the Island.
Please note: Members of the steering group will not be eligible to apply for the Poet Laureate position themselves.
Fill in your details below and we’ll be in touch shortly with the next steps and how you can get involved.
