Feedback from participants:
'My initial thoughts were negative, as I'm definitely not artsy. I don't read poetry. But I really enjoyed going through the poems and even wrote one myself, which I found really interesting.’
'Eye-opening, poetry has never been on my radar but I wish to explore it more now.’
'Really really enjoyed this. Favourite session. Really enjoyed the chat in groups about the poems and reflecting on them and absolutely LOVED the automatic writing exercise - think I'll give this a go some time when I need to let off steam. Would actually work really well as a 3 min exercise at lunchtime after a busy morning clinic.'
