Self portrait as a Poet - How do we frame ourselves in our work? How do we recognise bit of us in the world around us? This workshop explores how we portray ourselves in poems, how we can highlight our better or worse features and let those bits of ourselves that don’t feel that poetic inform our writing practice.
