Wolverhampton Literature Festival

Wolverhampton Literature Festival was a vibrant annual event celebrating literature, poetry, music, and the arts. In 2020, the festival partnered with OVERHEAR to commission ten local poets to write about ten beloved independent city venues in Wolverhampton. These poems were recorded and virtually "pinned" to their respective locations, allowing festival-goers to discover and collect them through the OVERHEAR app. This initiative aimed to unite writing and technology, supporting local talent and independent venues, creating an immersive literary experience that connects the written word to specific places in the city.
