In the summer of 2020, the Black Country’s regular poetry events were all on hold because of Covid-19. Poets Prattlers and Pandemonialists organised a series of five online events, made possible with the support of Creative Black Country, asking for poems which celebrated the different areas of our region. We received hundreds of submissions. This event will feature a short talk about the project, and sets from each of the poets whose pieces won the £25 prize for Wolverhampton, Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley, and Stourbridge.
