Untold Stories: Poetry at English Heritage
Untold Stories – Poetry at English Heritage took place in the autumn of 2020. Through new commissions, a poetry exchange and a public competition the programme allowed us to experience English Heritage sites in new ways and offered opportunities for everyone to explore our past through poetry. The programme was co-curated by Jacob Sam-La Rose, English Heritage’s Poet in Residence. This digital anthology brings together a collection of works written as part of the programme. It features poems written in Shout Out Loud workshops led by Malika Booker; as part of the Untold Stories Poetry Competition; and by commissioned poets Esme Allman, Nii Ayikwei Parkes, Jay Bernard, Malika Booker, Safiya Kamaria Kinshasa and Jacob Sam-La Rose. english-heritage.org.uk/untold-stories

<strong>Poetry</strong> Exchange<br />
As part of <strong>English</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong>’s Shout Out<br />
Loud programme, poets from Be<strong>at</strong>freeks,<br />
Barbican Young Poets, The Writing Squad<br />
and ArtfulScribe responded to sites and<br />
historical narr<strong>at</strong>ives through a series of<br />
online workshops led by Malika Booker.<br />
In paired groups, primed by Malika’s<br />
cre<strong>at</strong>ive research challenges and prompts,<br />
the poets responded to sites ranging from<br />
Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, to Stott Park<br />

been silenced or forgotten.<br />
