(Un)spoken Word poetry group returns to Wolverhampton in June
Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's (Un)spoken Word poetry group is returning to Wolverhampton in June to share the joy of poetry with local communities.
On Wednesday 25 June, 3-5pm the (Un)spoken Word poetry group hopes to welcome old and new friends to The Community Hub (next to Costa Coffee) at Wolverhampton Train Station to share the healing power of poetry.
Poetry is a great healer; it helps us share how we are feeling and helps us to connect with other people.
Local poets, David Stocks and Matt Humphries will guide people gently through the afternoon. People can bring along their own poems to share, or if they would prefer to just listen that’s fine too.
You don't need to be a poet to take part. The warmth of the group through the language of poetry is something special and is open to all.
The (Un)spoken Word poetry group was born in 2021; the title chosen because talking about mental health, wellbeing and life can often remain unspoken.
They have welcomed many to their informal events, including those who have never written poetry before, but left inspired! All are very welcome.
In 2023 the group published a volume of poetry.
