"Built from Broken" book launch

Lisa's poetry speaks of more than just trauma. It tells a story of rising from brokenness, of rebuilding from the ashes. Her words, just like her life, are not defined by what she went through but by how she overcame it.

The evening will include readings from other local poets, and is one of our events to celebrate International Women's Day

"I am delighted that Script Haven is hosting the launch of Lisa Connolly’s collection “Built from Broken”. As a bookshop, our aim is to support those voices that are all too often silenced by a society that chooses to pretend these events don’t happen - sadly they do. International Women's Day is a prominent platform for the voices of strong women such as Lisa; to be able to collaborate with her at this event is an honour for us. As a former Worcestershire Poet Laureate, I am passionate about the power of poetry championing causes and empowering communities, and this is the ethos behind Script Haven." - Leena Batchelor, owner Script Haven
