A creative space for all things POETRY: scrapbooked, spoken and crafted - find your VOICE + use it!

Hey there, Poetry People!

 

Are you a creative writer? An avid reader? A spoken word enthusiast? Or just a pent-up empath with big emotions to express? ...

Poetry Society welcomes everyone to our creative space here at University of Worcester. We'd love to hear unique student voices and encourage artistic expression in all its forms! --
