See National Poetry Day for poetry events in the UK. For Jersey, there’s plenty of poetry available on the Pages Jèrriaises – or why not browse a Jèrriais book or magazine?

The first book printed in Jèrriais was Rimes et Poésies Jersiaises (1865), a collection of classic verse collected from newspapers, almanacs and pamphlets.
