To get the new year off to a flying start, we'll be hosting a full day of writing at The Poetry Cafe, 22 Betterton Street, WC2H 9BX.

In the morning, one of our regular members, Judi Sissons, will get our creative juices flowing with a selection of writing activities. After lunch, we welcome best-selling author and mental health campaigner Rachel Kelly. Rachel will share how she turned to poetry in her darkest hour and why it helped her. She will also reveal some of the poems which spoke to her most powerfully. http://www.rachel-kelly.net/ The afternoon will continue with more writing and sharing, lead by Judi.
