Forward Arts Foundation promotes public knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of poetry in the UK and Ireland. We are a charity committed to widening poetry’s audience, honouring achievement and supporting talent: our programmes include the Forward Prizes for Poetry and National Poetry Day, which both take place annually in the autumn. The Prizes will be awarded at the Southbank Centre, London, on 20 October 2019 and National Poetry Day is on 3 October 2019
