Since September, the group have embarked on a journey to create bodies of poetry- firstly, by attending a week-long Arvon Writing Residential at The Hurst in Shropshire, facilitated by Anthony Anaxagorou and Vanessa Kisuule, with a guest appearance from Cecilia Knapp. Then, going onto experiencing a publishing masterclass course delivered by Amy Acre and Jake Wild-Hall of Bad Betty Press, culminating in their works printed by The Carousel. Now, the group are ready to share a special poetry performance in celebration of their individual work brought together as part of this special GOBS Collective showcase.
