Workshops
Members have the additional benefit of poetry-writing workshops, which are held regularly. This is a fantastic opportunity for those that join us to improve their poetry writing, whether as a complete beginner or an experienced poet looking to refine their existing skills.

Members’ workshops are held in the homes of other members on Mondays and Saturdays between 10.00 am – 1.30pm. Attendees bring copies of work in progress to be read out and discussed. These occur within a 30 mile radius of St Albans. We also run regular poetry workshops via Zoom, and also workshops where we discuss the work of a particular published poet.

Publications
As a society, we also have our own publications. These are: Ver Poets Voices; Unguarded Gold; Wheel of the Stars; The Ver Prize; and Anthologies (titled individually).
