Welcome to Survivorspoetry.com
As many of you know, the last few months have been momentous for us here at Survivors'. As you can see from our latest headline, our Patron Dr Debjani Chatterjee, has been awarded an MBE in the New Year's Honours list. We're delighted that was has been an extraordinary year for her personally has been thus concluded.
Second, in December, the Arts Council have given notice of their intention to restore Regularly Funded Organisation (RFO) status to us. We're thrilled with this recognition, naturally. As Director, I've maintained close contact with ACE London. Their personnel have been unfailingly helpful, including being remarkably understanding over bouts of illness that made one key report very late.
Now take a look at the latest issue - newly designed electronic pdf of Poetry Express (PE), currently the only mode it can be read in. We hope to change this, of course, with a full re-launch in 2008.
If you open it, you can read about what's happening, and occasionally what's not happening, at SP. Apart from all the news of events and projects in PE, keep an eye out for Events flagged up in the lozenges opposite this one. As I said last time and many took me up on it: keep phoning, emailing, and writing to us, and tell us what you think of our new electric self. It's not ideal, but it's how a lot of work might appear in future. The future's bright, until we change the colour!
Find out about our Mentoring Scheme by clicking the link on the left. A new batch will be anounced soon.
