In this two-hour poetry-infused writing workshop, poet and teacher Vanessa Shields will guide writers through the incredible world of poetry by reading it, writing it and critiquing it. Discussion and writing practice will enable writers to identify their poetic voice and how to trust their creative ‘gut’ by diving into poems from around the world - the old and the new. No poetry writing experience is necessary.
