IDP poet Geraldine Green has autumn lined up with
plenty of readings, workshops and courses!
September 15th,
Scarborough
saw her leading a full day workshop for LAPIDUS Scarborough, this was followed
by Geraldine reading from her new collection, Passing Through.
September 29th/30th once again she was thrilled
to run a full day workshop at Cumbria Wildlife Trust’s Nature Reserve, South
Walney. Called ‘Write on the Shore’ participants were welcomed to the full day workshop
on Saturday. Accommodation at Coastguard Cottage, 29th/30th,
soon became fully booked!
Says
Geraldine “ It was an honour to be invited to read at the poetry event ‘When
Norman Nicolson met Percy Kelly’, but sadly, it was the same day as ‘Write on
the Shore’. Big thanks to event organizer for offering to have someone read my poems
on my behalf! I was there in spirit, looking across to Black Combe and Millom,
Norman Nicholson’s birthplace.”
Looking ahead:
‘Write on the Farm’ full day workshops: October
20th, November 24th. Booking is through Geraldine.
