Poetry Workshop: Giving Place a Voice
With Elizabeth Lewis Williams
‘Who’s this moving alive over the moor?’
How do you give a place a voice? In this relaxed poetry workshop, you will consider the spirit of place and how the landscapes and settlements deeply etched in our minds can be given a voice to speak. How might new voices harness poetry to represent these places anew?
