Coniston and the Old Man
Place and the Imagination:
How does place
influence your poetry? How do we create poems that are anchored in the senses
yet are free to explore inner or imagined places? Imagination-based poetry moves away from the
traditional approach to writing poetry and, through dreams, the unconscious and
surrealism, allows the writer to create space for the imagination to explore,
invent and roam.
Workshops will comprise
a series of writing prompts and a variety of stimuli enabling you to create new
poems in a supportive environment. There will be time for group and tutor
feedback as well as one to one tutorials. Some sessions will take place
outdoors. Non-residential option available. Meals and refreshments
provided.
