is needed now More than ever
“Primarily we produce Lyrically Justified anthologies which provide opportunities to be published and ‘Speaks Volumes’ or otherwise showcased. As an agency we adopt Poets and offer both developmental and professional opportunities, often in conjunction with Partners.
“We have teamwork/dreamwork philosophy and aim to become a household name. Our ethos reflects the spirit of unity and strength when “different yet the same, with common survival instincts,” as //kabbo would say.
“With a focus on spoken word poetry, via extensive networking UWC provides opportunities to be published, feature in showcases and events, as well other platforms including Podcasts and Radio.
As an agency our work extends to workshops, journalism and commissions special appearances.”
