Write a Poem Workshop: a Sense of Place
For adults and older teens, beginners and experienced alike.

Location inspires great poetry! Come and write your own work, with the help of Festival Poet in Residence Gale Burns (pictured above and visiting lecturer at the University of the Arts, and recent resident poet at Lewisham Hospital). Writing prompts will help you kick-start the process, you will learn about good editing, and in this friendly, creative setting, you will be inspired by some of the best published poems around.

You can even read your own work in front of a larger audience, at A Fiesta of Poetry on Thursday, details here.

Book early, limited places

Gale Burns is the Festival Poet in Residence, encouraging writing, advising and hosting events, and writing a festival poem for the Picnic in the Park.
