Poetry: More than pretty words
Peach
‘We are the ones we’ve been waiting for’ - June Jordan
It’s National Poetry Day and we’re reminded how powerful, playful, subversive and astonishing poetry can be. How glorious a form, to have it belted from a stage or whispered in a bedroom - read alone, or collectively.
Love some poetry we do. Poetry for all!
Here are a few Peach faves and brilliant new releases...
