It's International Literacy Day today and we're so happy to introduce the LIFT: Poetry Anthology by patients at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre! ๐
Through the Arts in Health Programme, patients at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre have been writing poetry together in sessions delivered in partnership with The Windows Project.
Curated by our poets in residence Alison Down and John Hughes, with the generous permission of every contributor, LIFT brings together poems written by people at their most vulnerable and their most resilient.
One contributor told us: "In the hardest struggle of my life my spirits were lifted by these lovely people who reminded me of who I am. Poetry defines me, not the wickedness of cancer." ๐
You can now own a copy and support future sessions like these. LIFT: Poetry Anthology is available now in our online shop for ยฃ10.
