Poets Built It Code Of Care #1
We bring together poets and spoken word artists seeking community to strengthen our practices as writers and forge strong connections through collaboration.
We also bring together artists who wish to support each other through blocks in their writing practice.
We offer space to breathe and explore new ways to create as well as to support each other through creative transitions.
We want to thank the poets across the decades who have made it possible for us to spread the colour and vibrancy of the poetic word for the cultural health of the UK and internationally.
