Birmingham Literature Festival 5-8 October

Running now until the 8th of October:

 

 

National Poetry Day

Birmingham Literature Festival

5-8 October 2023

 

Hello,

 

Today, as we kick off Birmingham Literature Festival with our first day of events, we wanted to recognise National Poetry Day.

 

Poetry has the power to unite people and communities. Poetry acts as a vehicle in exploring one's identity and the identity of others, creating greater understanding between people. It's also the most common way of encountering and engaging with ethnically diverse authors within the curriculum.

Join us today, National Poetry Day, for an exquisite performance of Liz Berry's novel-in-verse Home Child. Later in the festival, improve your poetry writing skills at one of our workshops with Naush Sabah and Rebecca Goldsmith.

 

 

We look forward to seeing you at the festival from today today. You can browse the full programme on our website.

 

 

See you very soon,

 

The Birmingham Literature Festival Team
