Pen to Print: Poetry & Music Creative Writing Workshop with Jenny Mitchell

What are our happiest musical memories, and when has music or particular lyrics helped to get a party started; to sooth a broken heart or offer us condolences?

How can the rhythm and rhyme often found in poetry help convey a wide-range of musical styles from ballads to brass bands, from pop songs to symphonies?

Come along to this inspiring session, where participants will be offered creative prompts from established poets writing about music to spark new work.

There will be plenty of opporunity to share your work in a non-judgemental atmosphere.

Jenny Mitchell is an award-winning writer with three poetry collections. The debut, Her Lost Language, was joint winner of the Geoff Stevens Memorial Prize; her second collection, Map of a Plantation, won the Poetry Awards and is on the syllabus at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her most recent collection, Resurrection of a Black Man, contains three prize-winning poems, and was featured on the US blog Poetry Unbound. Jenny is also the poetry co-editor of the Morning Star.
