We’ll take the rich ecology and post-industrial landscape of the Red River as the starting point for a creative-writing workshop exploring how writing in the landscape may disturb our words with its strangeness. Mixing poem examples, a touch of theory, and lots of observation, we’ll explore how writing can entangle us in the life of the river. No writing experience necessary, but a willingness to try is essential.
Led by the poet John Wedgwood Clarke, Senior Lecturer in the Creative Writing at the University of Exeter.
Sunday 27th June 11am-3pm
Tickets £10 – all proceeds donated to KEAP
Meet at the Crowst Hut at Kind Edward Mind. Wellingtons and waterproofs essential.
