Power of Poetry

The Writing Squad

Young writers from across the North of England wrote fantastic new poems for the Rugby League World Cup Cultural Festival's 'Power of Poetry' project.

Eight writers from The Writing Squad were commissioned to create short poems by writing together - inspired by the theme of ‘The Power of Together’ and by the 'Power of Poetry'

The Squad produced four short films of the poems that match-goers saw at stadiums across England during the Rugby League World Cup.
