The unusually named “The Once Orange Badge” Poetry Supplement is a publication “for everyone whose life has been touched by illness or disability”. D. Martyn Heath says, “Since the release of issue 3 in May 04 I have been amazed by the amount of letters, e-mails and feedback I’ve received”. Writers do not have to be ill or disabled to submit poetry. Issue 4 will be out in December 04. If you would like to subscribe or submit poetry, e-mail: [email protected] |
The National Association of Poetry Therapy is keen to use poetry and other literature as a means to healing and wholeness. This is what they have to say, “As poetry therapists, we use all forms of literature and the language arts, and we are united by our love of the word, and our passion for enhancing the lives of others and ourselves.”

The Poetry Library, on the South Bank, London was “Founded by the Arts Council in 1953 as an inspired effort to support and promote modern British poetry, the Library had a variety of homes before moving in 1988 to our current location on level 5 of the Royal Festival Hall. Now containing about 80,000 volumes, we aim to stock all poetry published in the U.K. since about 1912, as well as a wide selection of international work. You can find them at: poetrylibrary.org.uk |
