Encounters:
poetry workshop Price: £53, £41 (60+), £35 (concs) Level: advanced Poems are places of encounter – with landscape and the wild, with other people and ghosts, with our hidden selves. From Keats’ 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' to Burnside’s uncanny angels and mice, this workshop will look at some key examples of poems of encounter and the surprising, dramatic and intense worlds they create. A series of exercises will help you explore the power of a ‘Strange Meeting’ and how it can change the poet and the poem. To book: call 0207 582 1679 or online |
