The Archive is a great place for students to research and learn about poetry. But it's also a place for you to explore and enjoy, to listen to old favourites, make new discoveries, relax and just listen.
The Poetry Archive includes a range of resources specially designed to help students. Alongside the recordings, you will find a wealth of background material on the poets, which will help you understand the context for their work. There are filmed interviews with some of them, so you can see and hear them giving the inside story on their writing lives.

He asked but would not stay for an answer. In fact there is no appropriate waiting time because we don't know. Nevertheless, we feel and are, sometimes, for a while, convinced. It is not that we think there are no truths, only that they are often complex and provisional. We may think of the truths of the imagination, but I suspect that, as far as poetry is concerned, it is a form of truth to language. What does that mean? And is that so?

This part of the Archive is full of poems chosen specially for children. Meet old favourites and make new discoveries.
Each term a different poet is in residence here, talking about poetry with anyone who wants to join in the conversation. You are welcome to explore our archive of past residencies and read some of the lively and varied discussions you'll find there.
