About this Event
Join award-winning poet Jenny Mitchell for a workshop on the subject of Freedom. In a world that seems increasingly chaotic is it even more important to think creatively about this elusive concept? What is Freedom and how can we attain more of it in a kind and responsible way?
Jenny will offer inspiring poetry prompts in a relaxed but challenging atmosphere.
This Black History Month workshop is open to all. New and experienced poets welcome.
This event is facilitaed through Blarney Library (Cork City Libraries) and will be held in the Blarney GAA Hall, Shean Lower, Blarney Village, Cork T23 KP73.
