Reading – Neon Nottingham

By The Book

Not only has reading declined in sense of books being picked up, but it is also the connection between people and books. 1.2 million children are reading less than they were last year across the UK, for all children this has a significant impact, but those it affects the most are the children who are in the care system, their life has been planned out for failure.

No Rhyme or Reason

Nottingham hosts a large, often hidden, poetry community bringing people from every walk of life together; along with classical poetry, people come forth with spoken word, storytelling, creative writing, slam poetry and soetry (sung poetry).
