Info

This month, join Sohra to read Afghani poetry together!

Our monthly reading group is a chance to explore literature in its original language and translated into English. Together we've read poetry, letters and prose in languages ranging from Portuguese to Japanese discussing the context, history and culture around them, reading and listening together. There's no pressure to read aloud, you can listen and read for yourself for a moment of pause and engaging with new and exciting writing. Open to everyone including those with English as an additional language, those studying ESOL courses or anyone interested in reading international literature. 

Please book your place below to secure your free spot!
