In the summer of 2021, the PCAA obtained funding from the CORRA foundation to produce a Community Poetry Book. We were able to engage Gerda Stevenson to run two workshops to inspire and encourage us to write a poem. The project was advertised widely, and people from all over the community contributed. Some of the poetry was then illustrated by local artists. This exhibition shows some of the original art work used for the poetry book. It can be viewed in Room 3 at West Street Arts Centre, Penicuik.
