Six years ago, a new online poetry journal launched against an inauspicious backdrop of a pandemic and Britain's exit from the EU.
@iamb.uk has since sailed many waves. Its 25th will appear this March. Last night, these 18 poets celebrated the journal's first six years. And it was bloody brilliant!

Winter arrives beneath the cloak of the old blue-faced one. She moves over hills, through woods, in shadow. Tightening the land with frost. Shaping the weather. Come in out of the dark to where poems gather like embers. Listen and drink in the latest wave of @iambapoet.com.
