Just to thank you for a great day last Saturday. I loved the play and the variety of the other offerings. I thought the close readings were a particularly good innovation.
You quite got me back into the mood for poetry meet ups.

I give you all a huge congratulation on a true success.
I have, admittedly, not been to too many of these festivals before, and found them previously somewhat dry. … On this occasion you put together a programme that was truly entertaining, full of joy, that kept the audience completely engaged; … Even a large audience would have gone home invigorated; I’m even looking forward to the next one.
And was it not good to be ‘live,’ to feel alive?

Congratulations on one of the best SPS festivals of poetry I have been to! (My fifth one)
The programme was inspired – although I would have appreciated fewer ‘male’ close readings with at least one woman poet illuminating a poem.
The rest was well-balanced, entertaining and the ‘mainliners’ oops I mean ‘headliners’ were brilliant.

“I have only just read the last copy of ‘Twelve Rivers’.
It’s such an enriching magazine. The articles, the poetry, the graphic design make it a delight to hold, read and enjoy. I thought the review of your pamphlet by Antony Johae captured my experience of your work.”

“As usual I am reading Twelve Rivers from cover to cover, and marvelling at the quality and diversity of its contents, as well as the quality of printing and design. If there are any magazines to compare with it, I am yet to see them. The supporting articles about poets and their verse give an extra dimension that is most welcome.”
“… I should like to congratulate the editorial team for producing such excellent reading matter with Twelve Rivers and Twelve Rivers Ripples during the pandemic – keeping us in touch and feeding our imaginations in the most stimulating way and much appreciated by those of us who live alone and are currently in lockdown.”
“I have extended my membership to cover my 90th birthday. Receiving “Twelve Rivers” and the collection of poems from other members has been a constant delight.”
The Ripples is a real lifeline for me, I look forward to it every week [Ed. actually fortnightly]. Thanks for it.
“I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed and was enjoyably surprised at the two events of the festival that I came to, I thought they were really interesting. And if the rest of it was like that it was a very good festival. … I truly enjoyed them. And, well that’s… high praise from me…”
