Oxford Brookes University

The Poetry Centre, which is based within the Department of English and Modern Languages at Oxford Brookes University, was launched in 1998, and hosts an exciting annual programme of events, which include conferences and research seminars, workshops, exhibitions, poetry readings, and community projects. The Centre is actively involved in social media and digital outreach. As well as promoting research and events through a lively Facebook page and Twitter feed, it has also run a Weekly Poem initiative since 2007 through which the work of independent presses and their poets is showcased every Monday.
