Poetry Wales Summer 2026 | Jeremy Hooker Tributes
Ends on
Our submissions portal is open until Saturday 28 February for essays, interviews and poetry to feature in our Summer 2026 issue. As always, we welcome work on any and all themes, but we do have a particular slant that we are especially interested in hearing about; for Summer 2026, we want to explore the meeting point between poetry and teaching.
Poets who teach within any subject or setting support creativity in ways sometimes overlooked within education and lifelong learning. They foster curiosity, strengthen critical thinking, nurture social connections, and offer a language for learners to express their inner lives.
Tributes to the Poet and Critic Jeremy Hooker
We are looking to bring together tributes to the poet and critic, Jeremy Hooker, who spent much of his writing life in Wales but passed away at the end of 2025. We would like to hear from those who knew him, were taught by him or who felt his poetry or criticism to be an influence.
We welcome tributes of no more than 300 words.
Before you submit, please make sure you have read our guidelines here.
