The chance to be our Featured Poet of the month!

Each month we bring you our top 5 poets. These poets are all ages and from all walks of life, but are all united in their love of poetry.

Top 5 Poets of the Month is an opportunity to have your work showcased with Forward Poetry for free. From the top 5 our editorial team will select their 'Featured Poet' of the month who will have a biography, photo and an additional 5 of their poems showcased.
