Send Valentine's text poems!
They said it would never happen; that people, especially younger people, don’t buy poetry. So this Valentine’s Day we’re trying to buck the trend by offering a choice of specially written poems which you can have texted anonymously to your loved one’s mobile on Valentine’s day.
The poems – by Edwin Morgan, Alan Spence and Tom Leonard among others – and instructions for ordering are here on the Scottish Poetry Library website.
Yes, I know you can write your own – but I’d love to see thousands of people buying these great contemporary poems. (And they're only £1.50 each, which is less than a card.) So send one to the object of your affection - send a dozen, if you’re keeping your options open – and please spread the word to anyone who might be interested…
