Yesterday, we celebrated National Poetry Day 2026! Here’s a little glimpse from the day. 💛

At Clifton Park, members of the Spread the Word poetry group shared a beautiful collection of poems, reflections and creative voices.

Over at Kimberworth Community Library, writer Jodie Platt led a creative writing session exploring the idea of the abject in literature. Inspired by Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, participants came together to share thoughts, explore new ideas and create their own writing.

A huge thank you to everyone who performed, listened, wrote, shared and joined us. You made it a wonderful celebration of words, stories and imagination.
