Clocktower Café, Croydon Clocktower, Katharine Street, Croydon CR9 1ET
‘But peace, like a poem, is not there ahead of itself/ can’t be imagined before it is made, can’t be known except/in the words of its making’ (From Making Peace by Denise Levertov)
Come and join us for an opportunity to read great literature aloud together! Our free shared reading groups are places to relax, connect to local people and to literature. Just sit down and listen to a great story or poem about peace – there is no pressure to talk or read.
Reading materials provided.
