Online Seminar: Lunchtime Bite: Finding Your Inner Poet

Date:

With:

Lou Garcia-Dolnik

Rating:

ALL

Summary:

This Lunchtime Bite is dedicated to all things poems, poetry and verse. Whether you’re terrified of line breaks and experimentation or looking for ways to reinvigorate your practice, we’ll be thinking through poetry as a space of experimentation, constraint and possibility, where ‘failure’ can be the starting point for something new. The session will cap with a 15-20 minute Q&A where all questions, anxieties and curiosities are most welcome!
