Poems
Length
We receive considerably more than we can print; and we find difficulty
in printing particularly long poems.
What sort of poetry?
There are no rules about poetry which is or isn't 'suitable'
for The Friend. If your poem is very like others you have seen
in The Friend, that might be a reason for not sending it in, and
vice versa: a poem may well have more impact if it is on a theme
which we don't automatically associate with verse.
Redrafting
Do remember that there are probably few published poems which
haven't been through more than one draft. You may feel that a
poem has been 'sent' to you, as ministry is in Meeting for worship;
but the Spirit may nonetheless be expecting you to do further
work on refining it so that it conveys its meaning as purely as
possible.

[Alternatives to Violence Project works with Russian conscripts]
Reducing violence among the military may sound like a contradiction in terms, but it's something being tried by Quakers in Russia.
Friends in Moscow and the city of Lipetsk are lea... |

In 2005 a report was published which astonished peaceworkers the world over. It openly challenged the prevailing convention that political violence was rising relentlessly. Not so, the Human Security Report declared. For those prepared to look at the... |

Our ancient Meeting house in Yealand Conyers is fortunate to have the old village school in its south west corner. Years ago Friends converted it into a hostel for holidays and seminars. The latter include youth organisations. Sometimes they come fro... |

If a visitor from space were to read history books of human behaviour, they would certainly conclude that the answer is yes. This is because history has largely been written as if it were the history of man, tending to move from battle to battle, bec... |

The James Nayler Foundation arose out of government attempts to suppress the showing of a BBC Panorama programme which featured Bob Johnson's work with prisoners considered too dangerous for Broadmoor. Bob had videoed his therapy conversations and ha... |

Looking back on the escalating horrors of twentieth-century warfare and the advances in nuclear and biological weapons, one can hardly avoid wondering whether the practice of modern warfare is heading for some unimaginable apocalypse of terror, death... |

Like many Quakers I have thought about the subject of violence quite deeply. I find it quite troubling, as no doubt many others do. When I was growing up in New Zealand in the 1950s and 1960s our society had little requirement for us to prepare for b... |
