Reveling in and making use of memories is a powerful way in which we can generate new poems. Join Rishi Dastidar for a workshop filled with straightforward exercises and unexpected prompts, designed to get you paying attention to thoughts, feelings, and details from your life you might not have even realised you were haunted by. All of which might just refresh your approach to writing.
