4th London Poetry Festival 2008

 The 4th London Poetry Festival 2007 is taking place on August 8, 9, 10 & 11: Friday to Monday.

 The largest gathering of contemporary English poets is expected to take place. 

 Poet's Letter would like to see poetry grow on the solid support of people who are individuals choosing to practise, support, nurture and celebrate poetry as a personal choice and therefore Poet's Letter hopes to see people stop looking at other people and bodies to come and support and "rescue" poetry.

One cannot see the astounding dawn where the sun spells out the spectrum of endless joys, thrills and hopes in the astonishing brilliance, all absorbing melody and soul flooding music if they fail to choose to open their eyes, to choose to get up and walk, choose to open the doors and walk right onto the spectacle.

 Here is London Poetry Festival and here it would like people to choose poetry and enabling it will to grow like an eternal tree offering us greenery and wind dance that will elaborate our oxygenated spirit and bring us in touch with the thrill and wonders of weather and music of life in the glorious cycle of seasons and take us beyond the bread-bridge and launch us into a space and reality that allows us to be something which is bigger than anything else that we could be: being human and being alive for which our system has yet to coin up a currency. Here is 3^rd London Poetry Festival 2007 with poetry and music too: a shared areal space of our common humanity.

4th London Poetry Festival 2008 welcomes everyone to come and join in the celebrations of contemporary English poetry as well as European.
