About this Event
POETRY SUMMER SCHOOL
The Writers’ Workshop, Orchard Square Sheffield
Get schooled in reading and writing poems this summer! This short course of six sessions with me, Suzannah Evans, will cover the essentials of poetry, from why we write it to how it works. Each session will include writing time and time for feedback. These sessions are suitable for beginner and intermediate poets. I recommend you come with an open mind and a willingness to play with words!
Thursday August 29th 6pm-8pm Experiments and Boundaries
In this session we will explore conceptual and experimental poetry, cross-disciplinary approaches to poetry, and we’ll think about hybrid writing and create our own writing that pushes at genre boundaries.
