A poem a day: Celebrating creativity this National Poetry Month

15 Apr 2025

Creative writers across Wales are sharing heartfelt verses daily in April as part of The Wallich’s Story Project – a celebration of expression, community, and creativity through poetry and art

April is National Poetry Month, and writers at our projects all over Wales have been inspired to post a poem a day throughout the month.

Our online storytelling group, led by playwright Owen Thomas, meets weekly as part of The Story Project.

Owen said:

“It has been a huge pleasure to lead the weekly writing sessions with The Story Project.

Every week there is a moment when someone’s writing stops us all in our tracks. Here are some of those moments…”

Writer Steph Ellis volunteers with participants at our Ty Croeso project in Wrexham every Wednesday.

Steph said:

“We wanted to showcase all the amazing talent in The Wallich, which was brought together by the Story Project.

The poems are personal and expressive and the writers are proud to share them.”

The creativity doesn’t stop there – many of the illustrations accompanying the poems are also created by Sam – a talented member of the Ty Croeso group.
