The poem I never wanted to write... #ReadingWeeps
#ReadingTogether
Following the attack in Forbury Gardens 10 days ago, we asked local poet Sarah Smith to write a poem to remember those who lost their lives.
Voiced by members of our community, including #ReadingFC captain @liammoore93 & Bishop of Reading @LiviJGraham, this is 'Reading Weeps'.
