In a post-millenial age what do poets have to offer a fragmented and searching Society?
Is the pendulum swinging from analysis and fragmentation to synthesis and fusion?
After analysis comes synthesis – and the creation of The Cleave poetic form.
There are signs that our age will become an age of co-operation, fusion and synergy.
Join us at the beginning of this exciting and radical poetic form that has the potential to embody these core values.
