Friendly Street Poets launched its 39th annual anthology “Silver Singing Streams” last night. Congratulations to editors Geoff Hastwell and Nigel Dey on their selection of the best of a year of high-standard poetry read at Friendly Street’s monthly meetings. Congratulations to all the poets who have work represented too – from experienced poets who’ve been with FS since the beginning to first-time published emerging writers. It was great seeing Zoela Lane’s original cover artwork and hearing so many of the poets reading their own work, Geoff’s rendition of the Dylan song which referenced the book’s title, and Nigel’s hilarious speech launching the collection.
