Creating the structure for a poem is often intuitive, which can feel
difficult to steer. But writing from left to right, top to bottom can also
feel confining.

In this two-hour workshop, we will create a non-linear space to structure
a poem around a central image/idea that leads us more readily into a
confident first draft, helps us clarify metaphor, and holds space for the
overlapping associations that makes poetry so rich.

Materials: please bring your favourite pen/pencils and sketchbook or notebook.

If you enjoy using highlighters and drawing tools, bring those too!.
