Welcome to Moor Poets
We're a community of friendly poets based in and around Dartmoor in Devon.
We aim to encourage, support and assist poets of all levels of writing experience in developing their poetry, and to share our enthusiasm for poetry with a wider circle.
We do this by offering a varied programme of workshops each year. These are in person or online and are led by guest poets as well as our own members.
We welcome new members, from writers tentatively stepping into poetry to poets exploring a more establised poetic practice.
Our next workshop, The Winding Stair, is led by Steve Day on Saturday August 15th 2026.
More information and booking details will be posted here shortly.
Our recent poetry workshops have explored eco-poetry, songwriting, poetry and the sea, poetic form, poetry as resistance, place and presence, time, and presentation skills.
Our workshop leaders have included the poets: Roselle Angwin, Alyson Hallett, Fiona Benson, Sue Boyle, Andy Brown, Caroline Carver, Rosie Jackson, Katrina Naomi, Sue Proffitt, Lawrence Sail, Julie-ann Rowell, Penelope Shuttle, Susan Taylor, Simon Williams, Greta Stoddart and Tamar Yoseloff.
As well as running poetry workshops, we organise readings by Moor Poets writers and publish anthologies of our poetry. We have four anthologies ... see our Books page.
On our Moor Poets website you'll find our events and publications as well as information about other poetry events. as well as books and poems by our members. You can find us on Facebook too.
Moor Poets celebrates twenty years
We celebrated our twentieth anniversary in July 2023 with readings from guest poets Caroline Carver and Katrina Naomi, both good friends of Moor Poets, and with short readings by our members from their own poetry. And of course with a party afterwards, cutting a splendid cake made by Rachel Jennings. A joyful celebration of all that Moor Poets and our writers have achieved over the years. We look forward to continuing to offer successful workshops, events and collaborations in the future. Our founders, Pat Fleming and Caroline Wilson, were sadly unable to be with us in person yet their vision and spirit flowed with us.
