On Friday 16th May I’ll be running an online workshop for Suffolk Poetry Society as part of their Festival, helping you deepen your poems with pleasing contradictions.

When: 10:30-13:00 

Where: Zoom 

What: Quite Contrary – contradictions in poems

How can you inject more ‘oomph’ into your poems, deepening them with pleasing contradictions? Poems often thrive on internal tensions that pull the sounds, images, and themes in the poem taut. In this 2.5 hour workshop, we’ll look at some poems containing opposing effects or contents, then create new work that dances on both sides of the fence at once.
