What is Spread the Word?
Spread The Word is a poetry project that started in Wath and has extended right across Rotherham Borough, including Mowbray Gardens Library.
Spread the Word is about creating a safe space to share stories and begin to express those stories through talking, listening and writing. No prior experience is needed and we run regular poetry writing sessions and poetry open mics nights.
