The Trawler 2021

All of these poems were selected (trawled) from the Gloucestershire Poetry Society (GPS) group's Facebook page.

The first GPS anthology, The Trawler 2020, was a great success, enabling promising poets to publish their work for the first time. So, we repeated the process, and here are a further ninety-five poems (posted between June 2020 and May 2021) by sixty different poets. As before, some of the poems are rough diamonds in need of some polishing, but they are of sufficient worth to be included within these pages. Many of the poems are first drafts, but each poem has an element: a style, a voice, or some content or passion that caught us as we read.

We hope you’ll enjoy these poems, which were penned and posted with an enthusiasm for the written word. The poets hail from all parts of Britain as well as from France and the Netherlands - some from as far away as Tasmania, Australia, India, Togo and the US.
