Bards Annual 2011

Bards Annual is the Annual Publication of the Bards Initiative. The Bards Initiative is a poetry project dedicated to connecting poetry communities, while promoting the writing and performance of poetry. A multi-purpose poetry project, the Initiative provides avenues for poets to share their work and encourages the use of poetry for social change. In addition, the Initiative aims to make use of modern technologies to help spread, encourage, and inspire poetry, particularly in the younger generations. It is the core belief of the Bards Initiative that poetry is the voice of the people and can be used to help create a sense of sharing and community.
