Based in The Book Stop, performance poet Ella will spend a week writing a poem for St Helens on her trusty typewriter. The poem will be inspired by the town, the bookshop, our relationship to reading and her conversations with local people.
Ella invites you to pop in for a chat during her time there (24th - 26th October, and 28th-29th October, 10am - 4pm), and on Saturday 29th October, she will paint her words on the window of The Book Stop - a temporary installation for all to read.
Workshops
On Saturday 5th and Saturday 12th November, Ella will be hosting free, drop-in workshops at The Book Stop from 12pm - 3pm.
Join in to chat, write, and express yourself - open to anyone interested in creating their own poetry.
This event is part of Take Over 2022.
