Celebrating Nation Poetry Day in style, we’d like to congratulate the students of Poetry Box who took to the streets for an immersive performance at Lewisham’s innovative micro library.

During a two-week residence at Deptford Lounge, the local students explored the theme of light and produced personal and uplifting pieces of poetry under the watchful eye of poet Lorianne Tika-Lemba and guest poet Dean Atta.

The new skills and successes would not have been possible without the funding, work and support from np } presents, Small Green Shoots, the Arts Council.
