The workshop on 26th November will focus on two main inspirations for writing poetry: Found Poetry and using archival photographs and maps. Each aspect will be introduced with reference to Sue's recent work described above. The workshop will provide starting points for writing and opportunities to share rough drafts with others in the room within a safe, supportive and critical space. If you are coming to the workshop, you might find it useful to bring a copy of a newspaper with you or have access to a digital version.
This workshop is free to NPS members or £5 for non-members. Note that we are trying to keep our prices as low as possible in these challenging times.
