Untrodden Ways: Poetry Club

Untrodden Ways: Poetry Club meet fortnightly to read, discuss and write poetry with contemporary poet Kim Moore. Kim guides the young people through a range of writing exercises which will focus on creativity, expression and developing a love of language. The group explores a range of contemporary and traditional poetry.

Attendees who cannot travel to Barrow or are having to self-isolate can access the group via Zoom. The sessions will be live captioned by Otter to enable young people who are deaf/Deaf to access the sessions. Otter uses AI to create real-time captions that we hope will make these sessions more accessible. This service is not 100% accurate but is similar to what you might see on a live news broadcast.

If you live in Cumbria and are aged between 11-14 and would be interested in joining Untrodden Ways: Poetry Club then please get in touch by emailing Zoe McLain at education@wordsworth.org.uk
