I'm grateful to be able to share the recording of the launch of Adam by Gboyega Odubanjo.
Curated by his friends and family on Wednesday 3rd July at Stratford East Theatre.
We put deep love into this.
Now we are able to have it as archive for our community

Great feedback for a #poetry workshop I facilitated @McrWritingSchl: 'In a very gentle and engaging way Jenny challenged us to look at our approach to poetry & I'm much more confident.'

How about a New Year workshop gift to yourself?https://t.co/U3QQHEWl63

[TheMerryWidow @jenipur82]

Forget Trump, Person if the Year has to be Gisele Pelicot. Whenever you question why women wait years to report assault etc then remember this woman. Over 20,000 images, and still, she had to defend her name in court. Bravery. #giselepelicot

[Jenny Mitchell @JennyMitchellGo]

My first front cover to end 2024! Hope you enjoy the article on Poetry, Passion and Power. Any feedback appreciated. Many thanks @madeleinefwhite and @eithnecullen🌿

Registration closes on 30th Dec

Sign up now if you’d like to begin the new year (perhaps masochistically) by writing a *drastic* amount of new poetry….
