Poetry workshop under the trees with Nadira W & MGP

Our poetry workshop, a classic or modern poem is proposed for discussion as we sit under the trees absorbing the special atmosphere around the campfire.

Our poe-TREE workshops are hosted by Nadira Wallace, PhD student at the Royal Holloway, University of London and co-organiser of the Ecopoetics' seminar series 'Green Blues'.  Nadira teaches us how to engage in a poetic dialogue with our natural surroundings, looking at 18th-century poems up to the present day.

Have you ever contemplated or communed with trees or nature?  Sounds wacky?  This is exactly why this session is on our schedule!  Push your curiosity boundaries into the unknown and see what you discover.

Light refreshments provided.

We welcome suggestions for topics and ideas from you!
