We are so excited to announce the winner of the Leicester Women’s Poetry Competition.
This is the first time we’ve run this competition and we’re really hoping that it will become an annual celebration of local female poetry writers. The theme this year was ‘The Black Female Experience’ and as we expected, we received some very interesting and creative submissions.
There were a few aims we wished to achieve through this competition. These are to:
Events
Book Launch: “Danny Dolphin & The Nation-State”
Our most recent book launch took place on Friday 18th October 2019 at Westcotes Library in Leicester.
The launch celebrated the publication of Danny Dolphin & The Nation-State. This the latest book in the series in the Creatures Creatives Collective Series, the brainchild of author Bobba Cass.
Children and adults alike shared in the reading of the story and listening to poems written specifically for the occasion.
