Join poet Emily Cooper for this session on how to collaborate when writing poetry. Emily collaborated with fellow poet Jo Burns on the writing of their collection The Conversation. It is a free event but tickets must be booked in advance.

Max 12 participants

Admission: Free but ticketed. Two hours

SOLD OUT

Through examples and exercises, Emily Cooper will show participants how collaboration can offer poets the chance to expand into new spaces. A word, a line, a new angle can set the writing off on a new tangent that possibly we wouldn’t have followed alone, taking us to places we previously hadn’t envisaged. This session will be a chance to meet new people, spark off ideas and create poetry that couldn’t be made alone.

 

This session is supported by Doire Press and the Arts Council of Ireland
