A Weather Eye with John Glenday | North Sea Poets In this immersive 90-minute workshop we'll use examples, discussions and quick-fire exercises to create new work, focussing on the inner weather of the poem.

Iโ€™m really looking forward to running this generative workshop next Tuesday evening. Weโ€™ll be studying the weather through the barometer of poetry and drafting inspired, new work come rain, come shine.
Still a couple of places left.
Dress appropriately.
