Run by volunteers on a shoestring, the Hay Poetry Jamboree is one of the most open-spirited, inquisitive and intimate of all the small poetry/arts festivals. It seeks above all to provide a performing space for those poetries which tend to be ignored by the big literary festivals – poetries which operate outside the margins of the mainstream. But the Jamboree is determinedly anti-doctrinaire – it showcases not only the very best radically innovative work, but welcomes writers of quality from any context, who are attempting new things, making interesting connections. The Jamboree is unique and it needs your support.
