The Hope Collective 3.0 is seeking contributions for the third anthology in the series: Silence/Trace/Shadow/Longing.
The Hope Collective explores the role poetry can play in helping us to navigate the most difficult times in our lives, when we experience grief and loss. Anyone is welcome to submit a poem, whether you have suffered loss or supported someone who has.
The Hope Collective is a partnership project from the National Poetry Centre, the South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Southampton and Huddersfield Universities.
This is an unpaid opportunity - the publication is part of a wider piece of research and development around the benefits of writing in mental wellbeing contexts.
