About this Event

Join Dr Hussain as he thinks through his poetic processes, surprising discoveries, and new (soon to be published) works. Participants will be encouraged to try their hand(s) at a variety of fun and unexpected forms of creative writing in a warm and generative environment.

Nasser lives in Leeds and teaches Creative Writing at Leeds Beckett University. He has written reviews for the Times Literary Supplement, Poetry London, Ambit, and the Poetry School, and has appeared on BBC’s The Verb and Free Thinking. His constraint-based book SKY WRI TEI NGS, published with Toronto’s Coach House Books in late 2018, is a collection in which every word is an IATA airport code. His second book with Coach House, love language, was released in the Autumn of 2023. He is soon to publish The Point!, (a book of visual poems, composed entirely from exclamation points) in late 2026.
