Do you enjoy writing, reading or listening to poetry? Why not join us at one of our friendly and informal (Un)spoken Word poetry events?
Our (Un)spoken Word poetry group was born in 2021; the title chosen because talking about mental health, wellbeing and life can often remain unspoken.
We have welcomed many to our informal events, including those who have never written poetry before, but left inspired! We understand that some people just like to listen to poetry and that is OK too. All are very welcome.
In 2023 we published a volume of poetry which you can read here.
(Un)spoken Word - the healing chapter - our poetry group returned to Wolverhampton
On Wednesday 25 June, 3-5pm we bought (Un)spoken Word poetry to Wolverhampton.
Local poets David Stocks and Matt Humphries welcomed new and old friends to join them at The Community Hub (next to Costa Coffee) at Wolverhampton Train Station.
Poetry is a great healer, it helps us share how we are feeling and helps us to connect with other people. The group shared poetry and reflections on a warm Wolverhampton afternoon.
We will be back soon. Email kate.pritchard3@nhs.net if you would like to be added to our mailing list.
We want to distribute our poetry book to our patients, service users and the wider community.
There is no cost, but we are asking readers to consider a donation to our Trust charity Brighter Lives. Charity funds raised will go towards supporting patient activities on our wards and in the community.
You can donate at the (Un)spoken Word Just Giving page.
