About
Poetry doesn't have to belong to a single voice: it can grow out of the words and feelings of a whole community.
Poetry doesn't have to belong to a single voice: it can grow out of the words and feelings of a whole community.
In this event we present two new community poems that emerge from either side of the Pennines.
The Salford Way is a community poem by Matt Concannon and Jody Findley from the words of Salford citizens, while the Seacroft Canto is brought together by Kimberly Campanello from the words of people living in the Leeds neighbourhood of Seacroft and the Leeds-based community radio station Chapel FM.
