Pens in Pubs Workshop 2 - Points of Arrival and Departure with Bob Walton

Through poetry and other genres, this workshop explores ports, pathways and portals, those places where we come and go, bid welcome or farewell, by water, land or air, by heart or mind.

Workshop leader is poet Bob Walton who lives in Hotwells and teaches Creative Writing at Cardiff University. With Claire (who is running the workshop on Saturday), he’s a member of The Spoke poetry collective whose ‘Track Record’ project with electronica-jazz duo Eyebrow won the 2020 Community Rail Network arts award. His acclaimed second collection, ‘Sax Burglar Blues’, is published by Seren.

If you’ve come to this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase some of your writing at the friendly open mic showcase on Sunday (Sunset Open Mic, 5.00-6.00 pm in the Nova Scotia Upstairs) as the sun goes down on the city’s bridges and port.
