Poem Stellium Specials

Every so often, Poem Stellium hosts something a little different — a one-off gathering created to mark a moment, celebrate a theme, or bring our community together in new ways. These aren’t our ongoing Poem Stellium Sessions; instead, they are rare offerings that appear periodically, like constellations lighting up the sky for a night.

What are Specials?

  • One-off or occasional writing sessions, such as our National Poetry Day Writing Session.
  • Unique events that may happen only once a year — or once ever.
  • A chance to write, reflect, and share in a space that’s just for this occasion.

Remote or In Person

Each Special will have its own format. Some will be remote sessions (so you can join from anywhere in the world), while others may be in-person gatherings here in London. Details will always be listed on the event page so you know how to take part.

Why Join?

  • Connect with other poets and writers around a shared theme.
  • Experience a one-time session designed for inspiration and creative flow.
  • Be part of the unfolding story of Poem Stellium — where each special event leaves its mark.

These Specials are not competitions and not part of our regular sessions — they’re something in-between, designed to surprise and inspire.

Check below to see what’s coming up next — whether it’s a one-off writing session or a unique gathering created for the moment. Each Special has its own theme, energy, and format, so explore what’s on offer and join us for the next constellation in the Poem Stellium sky.
