The Gloucestershire Poetry Society presents 'The Trawler 2020 Special' at our regular online event, 'Crafty Crows', hosted by Josephine Lay, on Wednesday 2nd December 2020, from 7.00pm until 9.00pm. Via Zoom (Technical stuff by Jason Conway).  Poets will be reading some of their poems published in this anthology.

The Trawler 2020: These poems have been taken (trawled) from the Gloucestershire Poetry Society group Facebook pages. Some of them are rough diamonds, still in need of cutting, polishing or setting, but never the less they’re diamonds and of sufficient value to be included within these pages. Here are 100 poems (posted between January 2019 and May 2020) by 47 poets. Many of these poems are first drafts, some are by erudite poets, and some by people who have just begun writing, but each poem has an element - style, voice, content or passion - that called to us as we read it.
