Founded in 2017 by Sandeep Parmar and Sarah Howe in collaboration with the University of Liverpool, the Ledbury Poetry Critics is a pioneering programme changing the representation of diversity among published poetry critics. Since launching almost 10 years ago, the percentage of poetry criticism by reviewers of colour in the UK has more than doubled, in no small part because of the game-changing work of the Ledbury Poetry Critics.
Catch Ledbury Poetry Critic co-founder Sarah Howe, along with LPC alumni Dzifa Benson, Stephanie Sy-Quia and Hasti at the festival this year.
