MODRON NEWSLETTER MAY 2024: POETRY SUBS CLOSING, ECO-OPERA, AND A GIFT FROM THE POETRY SCHOOL

Sending a warm hello to all our MODRON readers. We have a few news items to flag up.

First MODRON’s call for poetry submissions will be closing on Wednesday 8th May. You may also want to see this post asking, is there a difference between an ecopoem and a nature poem ?

We have a guest post today from Music Theatre Wales who have created a new eco-opera, interbeing, inspired by the profound teachings on interconnectedness from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.

Finally, if you missed our special Earth Day feature of poems created with the help of the Poetry School, you may want to check it out. Exclusively for MODRON readers, the Poetry School are now offering 30% off any purchases they make using the code “Modron”.
