The Chalk Stream: poetry anthology

The Chalk Stream poetry anthology is the inaugural collection of selected poems that have formed part of the Chesham Literary Festival poetry competition and its sister venture, Mindful Verses, since its launch in the spring of 2023.


***Please read our T&Cs below before ordering.***


Featuring over 100 poems from over 70 poets, this book showcases a wide range of ages, backgrounds and experiences. It represents only a small number of entries to the annual competition, and includes entries and winners of the Chesham Residents and Rest of the World categories, as well as the Under 11 years old and 11–18 years old categories. Together, these poems explore a diverse span of topics, including love, family, grief, nature, mental health and much more.


This captivating collection is the perfect gift for those who love to be moved and delighted by the power of poetry.
