About this Event
Welcome to our Poetry Spa at Bantock House, Wolverhampton - enjoy an inspiring day with poet L.Kiew alongside Poetry Spa host, Roz Goddard.
Brought to you by Nine Arches Press and the WM Readers' Network
Receive a copy of More Than Weeds by L.Kiew in the post as part of your ticket price and prepare for friendly discussion, absorption in poetry and a creative writing workshop.
Start the day gently with a spell of reading. Join a small group of other bookish people to experience the benefits of concentrated reading in Bantock House, Wolverhampton (the venue is on a bus route from Wolverhampton centre and has on-site parking).
L.Kiew will lead a writing workshop during the day's programme suitable for all, from absolute beginners to regular writers, as a gentle introduction into writing.
The day at a glance:
10.00 - 12.00 Roz Goddard hosts a reading spa session with poetry aplenty, mindful reading, meditation and some discussion

Variegate!
Write the creature in you, voice the plant in your poetry. Through generative prompts, we'll write beyond the human-self. We'll revisit our green and not-so-green spaces to find kinship with plants and creatures living and loving there.
Come ready to find your poems in the weeds, discover the stripes and striations we share across species and variegate your writing through curiosity and connection.
3.00 - 3.15 Break with cuppa and cake (included in ticket price)
3.15 - 4.00 Roz hosts an in-conversation with Lisa about her writing, with readings from More Than Weeds.
