Dove Cottage Young Poets

This well-established free group for young people aged 14-21 meets fortnightly on Fridays from 4-6pm on Zoom. Participants read, discuss and write poetry with contemporary poet Kim Moore. The group looks at a range of contemporary and historical poems each week and creates their own work in response, with support from Kim and the group.

Young writers can also work towards a Bronze, Silver or Gold Arts Award, attend and perform at poetry events and meet other young writers.
