📣 Fresh Zoom workshops
Open up your diaries: we have a host of new affordable Zoom poetry workshops open for bookings.
You loved these workshops in 2020, so we’re back with a fresh series of workshops — with increased flexibility. Each workshop runs twice (once on a Thursday eve and once on a Sunday morning) to make sure there's a session to suit every schedule.
📣 Book your spot now:
Hand-coded poems: Digital poetry for the web — 16 or 20 May
How do you get started making experimental poems that fizz, buzz, and pop across web pages? In this workshop, you'll be introduced to the principles of digital poetry, learn some basic coding, and begin work on a web poem that is dynamic and interactive. With Rory Green.
Call and Response: Poetry as Conversation — 13 or 17 Jun
Poems do not happen in a vacuum — often poets respond to ideas, images, places, and events that other poets have explored. Read several poems closely to tease out their threads of conversation... and respond with poetry of your own. With Eileen Chong.
The Endless I: Poetry in the first person — 24 or 27 Jun
This workshop explores the use of first person in poetry, how it can be used to engage with readers and to invigorate the writing process. You'll learn new ideas about how to use the I in your poetry in inventive, productive, and unexpected ways. With Rico Craig.
Reviewing and critiquing poetry — 11 or 15 Jul
When we read poetry for the purpose of review or critique, the task requires us to approach the poem with a critical lens. In this workshop we will explore how you can develop such a lens and bring it into your reading. With Elena Gomez & Rory Dufficy.
The art of invisible mending: Creative poetry editing — 15 or 19 Aug
This is a workshop designed for poets interested in working with other poets in an editorial capacity – including in relation to your own work. Learn to give feedback in ways that is clear, encouraging and inspiring, while always responsive to the particular poet’s needs. With Felicity Plunkett.
We contain multitudes: Digital poems in Twine — 12 or 16 Sep
A digital poem made in Twine resists singular or static ways of being read; it contains multitudes — and has the potential to change the way you draft. In this workshop, you will learn basic coding in order to explore the possibilities of choose-your-own-adventure poems. With Zenobia Frost.
