Following on from last year’s eco-poetry workshop this is another opportunity to engage with new ways of thinking about and relating to ‘nature’, land, and even environmental politics and justice through writing and poetry. This time there will be more of a focus around poetry of resistance, and what it means to write about ‘nature’ in the face of marginalisation and oppression. During our time we will engage with the writing of Palestinian poets, Indigenous poets and Irish-language poets whose work will inspire prompts for our own writing.
This workshop will be facilitated in English, but you may write in any language, and participate in any way you like – sharing your writing is completely optional, and no prior experience with writing or poetry is required.
