Trowbridge Stanza was set up by Josephine Corcoran in 2016. We’re a Poetry Society Stanza and we meet every first Saturday at Drawing Projects UK, Bridge House, Trowbridge. Poetry Society Stanzas are poetry groups run voluntarily by members of the Poetry Society. Although several of the group (including Josephine) belong to the Poetry Society, there is no obligation for anyone to join. Everyone is welcome.
We’re a friendly, inclusive group, a mixture of published and unpublished poets, our age range is 16+ to 80+ and we travel to Drawing Projects UK (next to Trowbridge train station) from all over the south west region. If you would like more information about joining our group, please email josephinecorcoran13@gmail.com. You can also sign up for a monthly newsletter https://tinyletter.com/JosephineCorcoran

Feedback – Read what people have said about Trowbridge Stanza here.
On Saturday, December 1, we enjoyed a wonderful reading by Bloodaxe poet Abigail Parry, whose book Jinx was shortlisted for this year’s Forward Prize for Best First Collection. Abigail read from Jinx, and other work, and took part in a lively and fascinating Q & A about her writing life, answering questions about this year’s Forward Prize, commissions, her route to publication, her motivations for writing, and more. Audience members listened attentively to Abigail’s poems, asked brilliant questions and read fantastic poems at the open-mic. It was wonderful to receive many appreciative tweets and messages after the event!
