Oxford Brookes Poetry Centre

Welcome!

The Poetry Centre is part of the English Department at Oxford Brookes University.

It has four aims:

  • to produce research into C20th and C21st poetry
  • to promote poetry in the local community
  • to encourage connections between poets, academics, and readers of poetry
  • to create space for discussion of issues surrounding C20th and C21st poetry
