More than twenty poets will be taking part this year to provide an inspiring weekend of readings, discussions, workshops, craft talks, open mic events, and so much more.

THE POETRY PAPER
An annual triumph of style and content, featuring articles, essays, in-depth profiles on poets we’ve worked with during the year and, of course, new poems. Enhanced as ever by newly-commissioned illustrations and photography, this year’s Paper will offer an exclusive ‘in conversation’ with Seamus Heaney. Copies are free, nationally distributed and snapped up fast. The 2010 Aldeburgh Poetry Festival audience will be amongst the first to get their hands on the new Issue 7 edition.
