Rainbows Behind Glass: A Lockdown Anthology
This book is the result of The Word Association’s first Standing Proud writers’ course – six months of weekly writing workshops aimed at the LGBT+ community of Worcestershire and their allies. The project was supported by Worcester City Council and Worcestershire County Council (through St Stephens Ward councillor, Matthew Jenkins) whose generosity allowed us to extend the project in order to help combat the isolation that many suffered as a result of the Covid-19 crisis.
Featuring the work of: Nicola Longworth-Cook, Colby Wren Fierek, Chris Cox, Becky Leonard-Dixon, Lydia Sofia, Oliver Bliss, Jay Rose Ana, Elizabeth Joy, Claire G.M Benson, Steve J. Martin, Sophie Ridge, Andrew Gardner and Dawn Wright. As well as work from those in support of the project: Alison McIndoe, Emma Lord and Memoona Ahmed.
The project was coordinated by The Word Association with support from Out2gether. www.the-word-association.com
