The Koestler Awards usually attract more poems than any other artform, apart from oil and acrylic paintings.
In October 2007, during the week of National Poetry Day, we held our first ever poetry reading at the Koestler Arts Centre. Two of our poetry judges - Louisa Hooper and Anna Robinson - read and discussed some of their favourites from the 2007 entries. Louisa and Anna are both published poets linked to The Poetry School.

This year both our poetry and fiction judges will be reading highlights from the 2008 Awards at the venue for our annual exhibition. They will be joined by colleagues from Not Shut Up, magazine of creative writing from London prisons, and the Poetry Library, which is based in the Southbank Centre.
