Poetry under the Skies

Bell House is a volunteer led charity that provides creative learning for people of all ages and backgrounds. Our vision is to offer an opportunity to gather for learning, enjoyment and friendship in a special place.

Bell House

Join multi-award-winning poet, Jenny Mitchell, for an afternoon, in conjunction with Dulwich & District u3a, of uplifting poetry.

This event follows the launch with them in April of her second collection, Map of a Plantation. 

The event will take place in the stunning gardens of Bell House, Dulwich, where Jenny will be joined by several other poets. The afternoon will be opened by Helen Hayes, MP for West Norwood and Dulwich. She has called the poems in Map of a Plantation ‘a powerful evocation… of voices silenced throughout history’. 

There will be an open mic. First come, first served. 

Jenny will be happy to take part in a Q&amp;A after the readings.

Please bring a stool or portable chair. 
 
Jenny Mitchell is winner of the Ware Poetry Prize 2021, the Folklore Prize 2020 and several other competitions. She has been nominated for a Forward Prize and a debut collection, 
Her Lost Language, was voted One of 44 Books of 2019 (Poetry Wales). Her latest collection is Map of a Plantation (Indigo Dreams).
