What was Poetry Soul Train?  

Poetry Soul Train was a 24hr Twitterfest starting on New Year's Eve 2021. The idea was to send words around the world celebrating being human. Everyone was welcome to get on board.

​

Who got the train going? 

In December 2020, I created Connection Fest with the support of the Camerados. I wanted to do something again at the end of 2021 and came up with the idea as part of the Camerados 'Xmas Can Be Crap' activities.  

​

What happened? 

Lots of people shared poems. Some of these were by known poets, including Maya Angelou, Michael Rosen and Spike Milligan, but many dared to share their own poems - some being written during Poetry Soul Train! These were reflective, moving, fun and powerful in equal measure. 

Search the hashtag #PoetrySoulTrain on Twitter to see the poems! 

​

Thank you to everyone who took part in Poetry Soul Train,

whether it was sharing poetry or Liking and Re-tweeting.
