In 2023 we had a workshop for children and young people. Everyone was writing poems about generations. Here are four of the poems and a note about the people who wrote them. These poems will be in our new anthology on the theme of generations.

Here’s a poem written by a whole bunch of Mana College ESOL students.

It was published in More than a roof (Landing Press 2021).
