Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

21 Jun 05, 12:00 AM - Survivors' Poetry

Posted by Crippled Monkey

Monkey's web tip for today is survivorspoetry.com, the site of a national literature and performance charity which exists to celebrate and promote the poetry and creative expression of survivors of mental health problems. The site has info on local groups and events, but best of all they offer their magazine online. I spotted a feature called Two Poems on Hearing Of Bears in a Zoo Being Given Prozac, and also reviews of the most recent play by Alan Bennett and poems by John Keats. Looks like there's some fascinating material here - worth checking out.

Yeah that is a pretty good site, I enjoyed writing poetry there. It was a good place to meet other poets and convert them to my site.
