Travel to Marrakech poetry fest
Donativo protegido
I am Reuben Woolley, an English poet and editor of the online magazine, 'I am not a silent poet', for poems of protest against abuse.
I've been invited to participate in the 4th International Poetry Festival in Marrakech in April. The Festival pays for catering and the hotel but not the trip. I calculate I need 500 € for the flight and other transport. I would have applied for Arts Council funding but this event takes place before the next round of funding decisions.
Poets are not rich - if we wrote to make lots of money, we would be extremely frustrated!
The theme of the Festival is "Poetry is for tolerance" and that will be my focus. Anyone who is familiar with my work will know how much of it is protesting against abuse. For me, this is an opportunity to get my poetry out where it might be able to do some good.
I would be very grateful to all who can contribute, however little it may be.
