This workshop is for those who would like to develop and strengthen their writing. The workshop will focus on the writing of poems, with group discussion and revision, and the importance of reading. The main aim is to foster and deepen individual participants’ understanding of their own work, alongside the discipline of writing and the best way of presenting this work to a wider audience.
