Collaboration: Writing Poetry Together
- Professional Development
- Free but ticketed. Two hours
- The Maritime Hotel
- 18/07/2024 - 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
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.
* Jo Burns was originally scheduled to be part of this workshop but unfortunately is no longer available to attend West Cork Literary Festival
Max 12 participants
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
