Friendly Street has just celebrated its twelfth birthday. The format for the readings remains the same – generally two invited guest readers followed by the ‘open’ reading which welcomes everyone.

Friendly Street is an inspiration, a deadline, a social occasion, an information centre, a form of publishing and a performance art evening.

This anthology represents a selection from those events. As editors we have been supplied with a rich source of material to select from, both from widely published and new writers. We regret we could not include more, but believe the poems in this volume strongly convey the flavour of Friendly Street.
