This Poem...

This poem is dangerous: it should not be left
Within the reach of children, or even of adults
Who might swallow it whole, with possibly
Undesirable side-effects. If you come across
An unattended, unidentified poem
In a public place, do not attempt to tackle it
Yourself. Send it (preferably in a sealed container)
To the nearest centre of learning, where it will be rendered
Harmless, by experts. Even the simplest poem
May destroy your immunity to human emotions.
All poems must carry a Government warning. Words
Can seriously affect your heart.

Peterloo would like to sincerely thank all of those that supported our farewell poetry event at the Troubadour in London on Monday 5th of October; especially our organisers and performers Anne-Marie Fyfe, R.V. Bailey, Stephen Blyth, John Weston, Owen Gallagher, Tim Cunningham, Julian May, Ann Drysdale and Anna Adams. The event was a marvellous celebration of Peterloo’s last 37 years and a fitting tribute to the tenacity, hard work and dedication of Lynn and Harry Chambers.

‘For three decades and more, Harry Chambers, the Publishing Director of Peterloo Poets, has been one of the great "hearers and hearteners" of the work being done in British and Irish poetry. Peterloo Poets, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2006, is a publishing house that has earned the trust of readers and writers alike; it has managed to keep the art in touch with its traditions and alive to its possibilities.'
Seamus Heaney


	‘Peterloo Poets is a small publishing house run by Harry Chambers in Cornwall. Its books are sensitively designed; each has a striking illustrated cover and the typography is excellent. The quality of production is much better than the usual standard of poetry paperbacks issued by major publishers.' G.B.H. Wightman / British Book News
