Is poetry a bit lost on you or do you wonder if you’re just not ‘doing’ it right?

Come and see what we make of it together as a communal act in a relaxed setting, encouraging conversation, connections, questions and delight.

Hosted by Matt West, poet, writer, facilitator and Artistic Director of ArtfulScribe C.I.C., literature development agency for the Solent region.

Free tea and coffee provided. Suitable for anyone aged 16+.

Come along early to discover the Poetry Exchange Tombola in the library.
