World Cup Competition


Dear poets,

Send us a World Cup inspired poem for the chance to win a copy of Mike di Placido's collection, Theatre of Dreams, and publication on our website.

The poem can be any length and style. Entry is free, and the deadline is the 21st of July. Send entries via email to office@poetrybusiness.co.uk, or by post to The Poetry Business, Bank Street Arts, 32-40 Bank Street, Sheffield S1 2DS.

An ex-professional footballer, Mike Di Placido’s debut pamphlet takes its title from his magical trial with Manchester United in the early seventies. His time there is warmly recorded in snapshots of Messrs. Busby, Stiles, Law and, not least, his fourth person of The Trinity, George Best. (Go here to read a poem from the collection.)

Do get in touch if you have any queries!

Best wishes
from all at The Poetry Business
