Penned in the Margins

 |
Contemporary poetry does not always receive the critical and popular engagement it deserves, indeed requires. The Battle of Ideas seeks to right this wrong; scoping new directions, stamping at the boundaries of literary culture and, as ever, refusing to avoid areas of controversy and difficulty. Penned in the Margins is proud to support The Battle of Ideas. |
"Participating in the Battle was a little like entering a Bombay train at rush hour - it's a plunge into a swirl of wildly differing notions of how people should arrange themselves in a really tight situation. When you eventually emerge, you find that you're in a different place from where you started - and that you've been thoroughly energised from the journey. I can't wait to take the trip again next year."
