Onwards from Poetry Newsletter SE London and its blog
There is no formal successor to the PNSEL blog. Other excellent electronic sources of information are available – a small selection is given below.
I’d suggest the best bet is the Poetry Library (e-)Newsletter (details below). I’ve also listed other options, including some blog sites.
Poetry Library e-newsletter and website
The Poetry Library has an events section on their website (http://poetrylibrary.org.uk/ Organisers can register events electronically. If you register for their newsletter (there is a link at the top of their website) you will receive monthly details of events. It also has lots else to offer – such as an electronic database of poetry magazines, & their famous ‘lost quotes’ service…
Poetry London (magazine)
They have a ‘listings’ section on their website which gives information about poetry events, courses etc . Poetry event organisers can submit details electronically. See: http://poetrylondon.co.uk
Poetry Events Blog
Poetry events Twitter sites
A couple of twitter sites cover London poetry events, or south London events including poetry. You can look at them even if you are (like me) not signed up as a regular user.
PNSel back issues
In case you want to reference something to save for future reference, recent back issues of PNSeL e-news will remain accessible for a time on the yahoo group site – http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/PNSeL.
Similarly with old blog posts on this site. Nothing new will be posted on the sites, except for a note giving more precise information about when they will close down.
