A book launch with a difference – all the poems were written by young people aged 11 – 16! Earlier this year the Leader of the Council commissioned Portsmouth Poetry to work in local schools and create 100 poems to celebrate Portsmouth’s centenary as a City – and this book is the result!
Poets and rappers from 432Nomads worked with almost 1,000 participants in schools and youth groups across the City. We received nearly 200 poems and had the very difficult job of selecting just 100!
The book is printed and we will be celebrating the creative talent of the young people of Portsmouth at this unique spoken word event. Some of the contributors will read their extraordinary poems and copies of the book will be available.
