This workshop will run from Monday 13 to Wednesday 15 July, from 9.30am to 2.30pm each day with two breaks built into the day.

In times of turmoil, we often look to the world around us for signs. Join poet Jessica Traynor for a poetry writing workshop that engages with signs, symbols, and methods of divination to generate new work that reflects the world we live in today. Beginning each day with a series of prompts to generate new work, and focusing on close readings and feedback on poets’ existing work in the afternoon, this workshop will leave participants with a series of poems in progress, and some more polished work.

Max: 15 participants

Admission: €245 for 3 days

This workshop is ideal for poets with some experience of publication who are open to sharing work for group feedback, and looking to find new sources of inspiration. 

 

After the generative work in the morning, we will workshop one poem by 2-3 poets each afternoon. Participants are asked to bring enough copies of the poem they will be workshopping for the entire group. It’s recommended that poets bring work that will benefit from feedback, rather than work they feel is already very complete.
