Call of the Page

About this Organization

Call of the Page (formerly With Words) is a small creative writing, literature and literacy organisation with an international outlook, based in Wiltshire in the South West of England. We love the power of words, from single words, to three-thousand verse community poems, and this is reflected in the past events of With Words and its colleagues. The courses, events and activities we run are largely coloured by our enthusiasm for Asian poetry forms, particularly the Japanese forms haiku and tanka. Other forms that interest us are haibun, sonnets, renga, and longform poetry. Our mission is to help people to make the most of words - whether that's through advanced creative writing or discovering the meaning and power in just one word.
