Women Poets' Network Gathering: Community & Creativity

Part of our two-year By Poets, For Poets programme.

Women Poets' Network Gathering: Community & Creativity

Join us for an inspiring afternoon of poetry, conversation, and connection at our online gathering for women poets. Featuring a keynote from  Jean and Martha Sprackland, followed by fresh work from our Creative Associates Kuli Kohli, Tolu Agbelusi, and Kuli Kohli.

After a short break, our Creative Associates will discuss the realities of being a woman poet and their experiences as the first Rebecca Swift Foundation Creative Associates in a lively panel chaired by Degna Stone. 

Then we'll hear from some of you at our short Open mic before offering you the chance to meet and chat with other women poets in breakout rooms.

This event takes place in a Zoom Webinar.
