The most enjoyable way to share and learn poetry is in a regular small group. In the first hour of these workshops with Cath Drake, participants will discuss an inspiring themed batch of poems sent in advance with a particular theme. We’ll look in depth at the poems and poetic techniques with expert guidance. The discussions in themselves are rich and life-enhancing.

Then, after a short break, you’ll write together inspired by the poems and share our writing.

These workshops are designed to help you develop a regular poetry reading and writing practice for those relatively new to poetry – beginners to intermediate level.

On the third date (July) there will be a slightly different format as we will be focusing on the Climate Change Poetry Challenge.

The series of three workshops is usually £80, but Cath Drake is offering a dicounted rate of £70 for those in her hometown of Perth and Western Australia more broadly.
