Workshops

I love developing new workshops ​​tailored to an organisation's brief, and work with young people (KS3+) and adults. Get in touch if this is of interest.

​​

  • Writing home and community for Spread the Word

  • Nature poetry workshops for Books in the Park, The Writing Squad and Poets for the Planet, writing against traditional (white, male) nature poetry

  • Exploring the boundaries between prose(,) poetry and the lyric essay with The Writing Squad

  • A four-week course on the surreal with Creative Future

  • A zine-making workshop highlighting women poets with Hong Kong International Literary Festival

  • Writing in-betweenness with Queer Circle and fourteen poems

  • Collaborative translation workshops with the Poetry Translation Centre

  • Multilingual poetry workshop with 1000 Words for Belonging​​

  • Exploring Virginia Woolf for the Royal Society of Literature with sixth formers in Tower Hamlets

  • Developing the Young Critics Scheme for The Poetry Society and T. S. Eliot Prize, supporting 18-25s to review the Prize shortlist via video

  • Opium, Keats and poetry for Poetry vs Colonialism
