It's Refugee Week, and this year’s theme is Courage ☀️

To mark the occasion, we’re looking back at our collaboration with the @writerscentre and @norfolklibrariesuk: an anthology of poems honouring Norfolk’s rich multicultural communities and its role as a place of welcome.

With contributions from acclaimed poets @georgeszirtes and @marjorielotfi , as well as the voices of library visitors from across the county, it’s a beautiful reminder that telling your story is an act of courage.

You can listen to the commissioned poems and download the anthology in the link in our bio 🔗

You can also find a copy of the books in all Norfolk Libraries! 📖

'This is our welcome. Here’s the door. Come through.' - George Szirtes
