Format: Workshop
Description: This interactive poetry workshop guides participants through reading, writing, and performing poetry. We begin by exploring a small but diverse range of poems, opening our minds to different styles, voices, and techniques participants can draw from. The session then focuses primarily on guided writing exercises and drafting time, allowing space to develop new work or refine existing poems. In the final section, we turn to performance, experimenting with how to read poetry aloud and engage an audience. Participants may share work-in-progress for supportive feedback in small groups or with the room, though sharing is always optional, in a welcoming environment.
