Poetry Workshop- Less is More - MONDAY
Morocco Bound Bermondsey1A Morocco St, London SE1 3HB, UK
(GMT)
Good poems dont always explain themselves. Well experiment with implication, ambiguity, omission and restraint, looking at how to trust an image, leave space for the reader and resist the temptation to tell them exactly what a poem means. Attendees are encouraged to bring a draft poem where they may be over-explaining to workshop in a friendly and supportive setting.
