Batley150 Poetry Collection

The Batley Poets are putting together a book as part of the Batley 150 celebrations that commemorate Batley becoming a borough 150 years ago this December. The book is to be a collection of poetry around the theme of ‘Batley’ and is open to anyone wanting to write a little something about this town of ours.

Unfortunately the official deadline for submitting poetry for the book has now passed, however poetry can still be submitted on the theme of Batley150, and may be included in other Batley150 projects (e.g. poster, display) or published on the website.

You can use the form below to submit poetry or email your poem to poems@batleypoets.co.uk, making sure to mention it’s for Batley150
