ON THE 1ST & 3RD SATURDAYS AND EVERY TUESDAY EACH MONTH, SPEAK THE WORD RUNS A POETRY AND SPOKEN WORD WRITING WORKSHOP.
We're a friendly, inclusive and encouraging group. Whoever you are and whatever your relationship with poetry, we'd love you to join us.
Following on from an incredible series of poetry and spoken word workshops (2020 -21) with Roundhouse Slam Poet Rakaya Fetuga, through The Caraf Centre, several of us enjoyed the community so much that we've decided to continue the sessions.
Poet PJ Samuels opens the session with a wellbeing check-in and welcome, and Poet nudi, Nona, Maureen, Tara or PJ brings poems, artwork and prompts for inspiration.
There's no pressure to share what you write, so feel free to just come along and see how you like it!
Event time: 6–7.30pm (GMT/UTC)
Duration: 90 minutes
Accessibility: Auto Captioning on, Workshop material offered in multiple formats - read aloud/ screenshared/ downloadable handout/ chat box posts, Comfort Break. Let us know if you have any other accessibility needs.
Queer & trans-affirming.
Our Speak the Word events are designed for adults (18+), and are not appropriate for those under the age of 18. We hope you find a supportive space elsewhere to nourish your poetry.
