what we do

Poetry For All

In addition to his own poems, Felix was an untiring champion of new poets. We at the Felix Dennis Foundation are committed to continuing this legacy, by discovering and endowing the best new poetic voices.

We already sponsor the Felix Dennis Prize For Best First Collection at the prestigious annual Forward Prizes for Poetry as well as Felix Dennis Young Poets Prize at the Stratford Literary Festival and are currently planning numerous projects with grassroots organisations to help give a voice to those on the fringes of society.

"I have one talent, and that's figuring out what people want about two minutes before they know it themselves."

"Once begun, the job's half-done. Because that first irrevocable step has proved to be the most difficult part of nearly every venture I've been involved in.”

- felix dennis

“Being rich is fine, and at the very least is better than being poor. But it shouldn’t be the be-all and end-all of your life, or anyone’s life.”
