This workshop is an introduction to writing poetry for anyone who wants to try poetry. We will explore writing in a relaxed and supportive way. We will be comparing prose and what makes a poem and how to concentrate language and emotion into a word experience. This workshop will take place in a relaxed, informal setting with breaks, suitable for anyone with sensory needs.
