A Celebration of the Dial-a-Poem App – Nov 2020


On Wednesday 25th November 2020, the Nottingham Creative Writing Hub hosted Dial-a-Poem, a celebration of the Dial-a-Poem app, developed as part of the AHRC-funded Crossed Lines research project, led by Dr Sarah Jackson.

Chaired by CPRG lead Dr Jackson, the Dial-a-Poem event featured readings from several of the internationally-recognised poets included on the app: Raquel Lanseros, Andrew McMillan, Rishi Dastidar and Chrissy Williams, with support from the winner of the national Dial-a-Poem competition, Rose Brenna, and John Rogers, who won the NTU prize.

The event was hosted online and featured a discussion on poetry, calling and technology. Many thanks to the poets, to the Nottingham Creative Writing Hub, and to all those involved.
