Martina Swift loves the wonderful art of poetry. She writes on contemporary issues and the human condition. She blogs at https://martinas498.wordpress.com and has published three books: Poetry for the politicised youth, DEATH: Life and Love and Let's Eat?

Chris Burleigh has been writing poetry all his adult life. His interest is in people, situations, emotions, the natural world, and the human condition. For him, poetry is about having fun with words and meaning, using words cleverly to say things differently, and saying the familiar in unfamiliar ways. He has published two books of poetry Particles of Light (self-published, 2017) and Intersecting Lines (Beercott Books, 2021). He has also been published in anthologies by Fish Publishing and Indigo Dreams.

Peter Hart has been writing poems without great success for at least ten years. Although he does have his own Garret – he has still to master the art of Starving. He did win a prize in a competition some years ago – which was, thankfully, a book on how to write Poetry. Since then, purely on medical advice - he hasn’t looked back. Attending Ware Poets since meetings restarted after lockdown – he’s also performed in support slots at The Four Rivers Folk Club in Hertford and selected open mic sessions in London and elsewhere. His motto - Expect nothing – and you won’t be disappointed!
