THE POETRY SOCIETY

(Incorporated)

Every boy and girl under eighteen years of age is now entitled to
become a Junior Member of the Poetry Society.

Every junior member will enjoy the privileges of an ordinary member but, instead of The Poetry Review, will receive each quarter, post free, a special magazine called The Voice of Youth.

The Voice of Youth will be the only magazine in the country addressed solely to all under eighteen, and devoted wholly to poetry. There will be special articles about the way poets write, the thrill of finding their meaning, how poetry grew from ballad songs, the ways in which poets of today are seeking to find new ways to express themselves, the adventure of selecting and manipulating words to create a poem, the way to use the human voice to convey the true inner meaning of poetry, and so on.

There will be competitions in every issue, the opportunity of getting one’s special efforts criticised by experts. A part will always be devoted to printing the best that is written by the junior members themselves.

Books and gramophone records will be reviewed. Queries will be answered and an open correspondence column will be there for the readers to give their own views.

The Poetry Society is the largest fellowship of poetry lovers in the world and, for over forty years, has played a great part in maintaining the strength and purity of this our English heritage.
