Saturday 9 May: Words for Peace Poetry Workshop

A day of spoken poetry, writing and discussion is taking place this weekend at St Mary's Church.

Hosted by Stafford poet and BBC Short Story Competition finalist David Braziel, the event will focus on the theme of peace.

According to Eventbrite, "Through discussion, readings and a series of writing exercises" attendees "will think about peace in its many forms: personal and global, quiet and difficult, sought, built and found."

The event will prepare those present for the World for Peace Poetry Competition, giving both seasoned poets and those just starting out a creative space to generate ideas.
