BBC Contains Strong Language 2021 is a partnership between the BBC, Coventry City of Culture Trust, Writing West Midlands and Nine Arches Press, and is supported by Arts Council England, the British Council, Creative Lives and Jerwood Arts.
On World Rivers Day, join us for a guided morning walk along Coventry's 'hidden' River Sherbourne as part of our new digital poetry trail, from the Belgrade Theatre to Spon End, with Charlotte Ridpath from Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and poet Sujana Crawford. This specially commissioned project traces the route of the River Sherbourne in Coventry. Learn about the ecology and natural history of the river, and listen to the poems on the trail as you go. Please bring your own pen and notebook for writing activities.
To get the most from this workshop, we recommend you download the Overhear Poetry app onto your smartphone from the Android / Apple store for free, and select Re:Versing the Sherbourne digital trail to begin your adventure. For more information see www.theoverhear.app
