We partnered with Haberdashers Hatcham Free School to deliver workshops for their year 3 students.

We explored transformations, comparisons, sound and nonsense in poetry, encouraging students to embrace weirdness by making up their own noises and words. Some even invented new languages!

We had an absolutely fantastic time, met some brilliant young poets and wrote a lot about stinky cheese!

Submissions to our fourth yearly publication are open.

If you've read at our open mic night or attended our workshops, please submit your poetry to us. We want it all: your strange, wonderful, heartbreaking, life-affirming, fizzing, shining words. There is no theme other than you being you.

Send up to 3 poems to hello@resonancepoetry.com. Submissions close Sunday 11 January 2026.

We partnered with Feed the Hill, a social supermarket in New Cross, to run free poetry workshops for those experiencing food insecurity.

Over three workshops we used poetry to tell our stories, share difficult experiences, and create community. One participant said:

‘I had a paradigm shift. I used to think that poems were sterile, fringe, niche, that specific types of people do poetry. But it shattered my stereotype about poets and about my perception and my own interpretations of poetry. What I learned is that there’s many types of poets and poetry.’

We’re thrilled to be one of the collectives in residence at Goldsmiths CCA in 2025-26. Over the next year we’ll be running collaborative projects and one-off workshops with communities across south east London. 

We’ll use poetry to explore self-expression, lived experience and storytelling, as well as building community.  

Keep an eye out for opportunities to get involved! You can find out more here.

We partnered with Grassroots Suicide Prevention to run a workshop exploring how poetry can help us give voice to difficult experiences, refuse shame or guilt, and create spaces for healing. We asked how reading and writing poetry might bring us strength when we need it most.

We ran a poetry workshop on collage and experimental forms as part of Kink in their Armour, a series of creative workshops for LGBTQIA+ artists organised by Campfire Theatre. The project connected creatives from the UK with artists from Thukhuma Khayeethe Theatre in Myanmar. We encouraged people to experiment with poetry, grow self-confidence, and celebrate queer joy and resistance!

We partnered with St Christopher’s Hospice and Anti-University festival to run a poetry workshop on queer grief and resistance. Over 30 people joined us to explore poetry as a way of remembering, celebrating, and grieving queer lives. We thought about how we rally to resist a world that tries to break us down or tear us apart. We joined together, resilient and joyful, refusing to go anywhere.
