Workshops

I am an experienced workshop facilitator and have led poetry groups in care homes, community centres, libraries, hospitals and prisons, with people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, including people living with dementia and mental health issues.

Poetry for me has always been a source of emotional solace and political inspiration rather than just an intellectual exercise. It changed my life and the way I look at the world. Because of this, I believe that the reading, writing and discussion of poems should be made accessible to everyone, regardless of educational background or circumstances. My workshops are always designed with this in mind.

With my groups I aim to boost attendee’s confidence, providing them with a positive outlet for expression and an opportunity to form deeper social bonds with each other. The session itself typically includes a range of warm-up writing exercises, group reading and discussion of poetry or short-form prose, a wide range of writing prompts and opportunities for participants to share their writing. I can work with you to tailor length, content and activity to suit participant group and project needs as required. Please see my CV for further details of my experience and testimonials.
