Hello readers and listeners,

For the past four years we've been marking the Centenary of the First World War by recording and posting poetry influenced by the conflict. This year sees a hundred years since the Armistice and we felt it would again be a fitting tribute if this sub adopts a Remembrance Day theme for submissions.

For this year, though, we'd like to focus on poems that either commemorate or celebrate peace, from conflict or otherwise, to signify the end of a war that fundamentally affected the world in which we live.

So can I suggest that, on and leading up to Remembrance Weekend (10th/11th November), we post poems of peace to commemorate and remember?

A few final points:

• Remembrance Day is mainly a Commonwealth memorial day so apologies if this is unfamiliar to you. It's only a day and I hope you appreciate the significance for those of us affected by it.

• For this event we won't be accepting any OC poetry. The point is to experience and commemorate the voices from that era, so please keep it published and related.

• This is absolutely not an opportunity to wave any neo-pol revisionist flag regarding WWI. If you don't agree with Remembrance Day this is not the place for it; please move along.

Thanks for reading. See where the theme takes you and I hope your explorations bear fruit.
