Be part of the first Foraging Pigs poetry anthology
In September 2026, the Foraging Pigs will be a year old! To celebrate, we are putting together an anthology of work by regular Foragers, Wild Harvest, which will be on sale in time for Christmas.
If you would like to be included, and you have attended two or more meetings in the year, then you are eligible to submit up to three poems to be considered for publication.
Work that has been published elsewhere is eligible, as long as you retain the copyright and let us know so that we can acknowledge the original publisher.
To submit your work, complete the form below and pay the £3.50 submission fee (which will go towards printing costs). You can paste your poems below, or you can attach files. We’d prefer a Word document if possible.
We guarantee to select at least one poem for publication, and might choose all three!
