Free
The Poetry Society’s Free Verse Poetry Book and Magazine Fair celebrates the vitality of poetry in the UK – it’s an unrivalled opportunity to browse and buy the very best in contemporary poetry, and to meet publishers, organisations and poets.
What is it?
Free Verse is a book and magazine fair. Publishers each have their own stall, and bring along their latest wares for the public to peruse. Free Verse offers the best chance to find innovative, new, and up-and-coming poetry all in one place. Expect limited editions, poem-objects, fine letter-press printing, radical zines, artists’ editions, miniatures, pamphlets, translations, anthologies, and the best independently published poetry collections.
When and where is it?
The 2025 Free Verse Poetry Book and Magazine Fair will take place on Saturday 26 April 2025 from 11:00 – 18:30 in the Lower Hall of St Columba’s Church, Pont Street, London, SW1X 0BD.
