National Poetry Day took place on Thursday 5 October 2023, and this year’s theme was Refuge. The Heartlines Writers marked the day with a collection of poems exploring various approaches to the theme of refuge.
Refuge can mean many things. Refuge can be found in a relationship, in books, in a church or in a religion, or in a foreign country escaping from war and terror. There are many types of refugees but all are seeking help, solace and safety.
The Refuge collection was displayed at the Heart Centre, Headingly, Leeds and can be viewed at National Poetry Day 2023 – Refuge
