Walking on Water – Creative Writing Workshop with Alyson Hallett

Sunday 17 March 10.30pm-1.30pm
The Writers’ Block, The Ladder, 2-4 Clinton Road, Redruth, TR15 2QE
Tickets: £20 for workshop only. £25 for workshop & reading (2.30-4pm).

In this workshop we’ll be looking at how poetry can take us into the realm of the impossible. There will be a focus on how to think new thoughts in our poems and how to articulate entangled and complex relationships.  There will be exercises to fire and inspire the imagination and no previous writing experience is necessary.

Alyson Hallett

Alyson’s latest publication is End of the Glacier, poems that respond to the glacier paintings of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham. Her previous book was Tilted Ground, a book of poems and provocations that came out of a residency in a geology department. Alyson has curated the international poetry and public art project The Migration Habits of Stones for the past twenty years, and has sited stones with text carved into them in different countries around the world.
