There's still time to submit your entry for this year's Larkin Poetry Prize! As the season draws to an end, why not write about how autumn inspires you?
'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;'

The Centre is pleased to celebrate the culture that Libraries bring to our communities. Perhaps you’re feeling inspired by a book you’ve read or simply the views from your working corner of the Library? Why not write a poem about how the Library enriches your ‘everyday now’?
Often the ‘everyday now’ means a balancing act between working life and pursuing one's passions, indeed Larkin had the same struggles: https://t.co/8JBgDZtUKt
