Or if you would like a physical copy please get in touch with us and we will send you one (postage and packing payable). This is FREE but all donations are gladly received.
Our poetry workshops culminated in an in-person session today, a nice change from our online sessions. We’re so proud of our workshop group and the brilliant way they’ve worked together and on their own poems over the last few weeks and we look forward to showcasing their work in the JUBILATION! poetry work we’ll be publishing over the summer.
Huge thanks to Lucy Flannery who took today’s session and who has been running our outreach sessions with a local school. We’re busy going through all the poems from these at the moment and are looking forward to including as many as possible in our eagerly awaited book of children’s poetry.
We’ll be updating here as soon as possible with details of the upcoming book!

Our fifth Culture@Home session featured novelist and creative writing tutor, Sarah Bower who facilitated a session on writing a sonnet inspired by the domestic objects that surround us.
Our Culture @ Home sessions are made possible thanks to Emergency Arts Council funding that enables us to pay the workshop leaders, all other work is done for free by Live Art Local.
