VENUE: Dormouse and the Teapot, Kitschen, W2/218, Woodend Mill 2, Manchester Road, Mossley, Lancashire OL5 9AY
The workshop is aimed at writers who already have some experience and who want to expand and develop their skills in a supportive atmosphere. We will look in detail at the main features of narrative poetry and how it differs from the lyric. With these features in mind, group members will be encouraged to begin work on short narrative poems of their own, exploring ways in which stories in verse can be initiated and sustained.
