Poetry of Consolation

Poetry has the capacity to express emotion, distil experience and get the heart of the matter. It can offer fresh insight, sustain the spirit, inspire and delight us with its music. We may naturally turn to it in extraordinary times. What poems have particularly sustained you in recent months - an old favourite, a new discovery?

Join Chester Cathedral’s Poet-in-Residence and share a poem at a lunchtime poetry gathering online as the Cathedral waits to re-open fully. You could bring a poem you have written yourself over this period if you prefer. Or come simply to listen.
