Lockdown poetry parties 'bring families closer'


A poet who specialises in health and wellbeing said poetry could help people feel 'less alone' during the pandemic. Beth Calverley, from Bristol, created The Poetry Machine in 2015 to help people 'put their feelings into words'. During lockdown, she has worked online and with families and the hospital where she is also poet in residence. Bristol Royal Infirmary said her specially written poems 'embodied everything we as staff are feeling for our patients and their loved ones'. After almost all her pre-existing work until next year had been cancelled or postponed, Ms Calverley said the months ahead looked 'very uncertain'.
