A 'mass listener poem' for National Poetry Day

Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

It's National Poetry Day - the annual celebration on the first Thursday of October that encourages everyone to make, experience and share poetry with family and friends. Each year we're encouraged to come together because voices, words and stories help to bridge understanding in our community. Ady Dayman asked listeners to contribute to a mass poem for Leicester - hear how it turned out, along with contributions from Leicester poets and performers Mr Shay and Jess Green.
