Poetry is a wonderful way to communicate complex issues, and to find space for deep reflection.

This event arises from a call for poems that explore the meaning of social work and compassion in order to promote social workers’ self-care and wellbeing. The organisers selected poetry that provides comfort, support, challenge, and inspiration to social workers in Scotland.

Join the Scottish Poetry Library and the Social Workers Union for an evening of live readings from the selected poets as we reflect on the importance of social work in these extraordinary times.
