Across Borders

Contains Strong Languages' Across Borders project, in partnership with Birmingham 2022, connected poets across the Commonwealth. Here the poets ask important questions: what should we learn from each other? What can we share?

Join six of our writers sharing their experiences and favourite new poems from the anthology. With Shivanee Ramlochan (Trinidad), Nick Makoha (UK), Ellen Van Neerven (Australia), Efe Paul Azino (Kenya), Dzifa Benson (UK), Njeri Wangarĩ (Nigeria).

Hosted by Bohdan Piasecki.

This event is part of a special programme of commissions by BBC Arts and Arts Council England’s commission!
