The West Euston Time Bank

National Poetry Day 2005

On Thursday 6 October our Time Bank poets joined forces with other time banks around London and gathered at the Poetry Society Café to perform their own work, listen to the poetry of their peers and celebrate poetry in style.

Poet Laureate Andrew Motion welcomed everyone to the event and read a selection of his poetry that was most in tune to the feelings of community spirit.

The day highlighted the power that poetry has in bringing people together, restoring confidence and creating a sense of community.
