The Poetry Coterie is a monthly poetry subscription for the romantics, the rebels, the nostalgics and the optimists.

Each poem will have a loose theme of hopefulness and resilience threaded through, but can cover any topic or area of life.

Each month, members of the Coterie get:

• an A6 feature poem on cotton paper

• an A7 verse on cotton paper

• a personal letter from me to you

• plus, an A5 birth flower birthday poem on your birth month.

Poems will be printed in the same font they are typed, which will vary depending on the typewriter used and each month, one person at random will receive the original hand-typed poem complete with a certificate of authenticity.
