GENESIS POETRY WORKSHOP GOES WILD!

The Genesis Slam crew are back with the next Genesis Poetry Workshop and this time it’s all about the wild. In this workshop, we’ll be writing all about the natural world, from rugged heather-covered wildernesses to weird and wonderful flora and fauna.

TICKETS HERE!

We’ll be looking at why writers are fascinated by the wild, learning what the natural world can teach us about ourselves and having a crack at writing our own poems inspired by the wild. Don’t worry – it won’t be all hippy-dippy daffodils and wandering lonely as clouds: if you’re ready to explore new landscapes and wildlife in your writing, this is the workshop for you!

·       Place / Time: Genesis Cinema Bar (Upstairs), Thurs 30th September, 19:00-21:30

·       Duration: 2 hours 30 mins approx.

·       Focus: Generating new writing

·       Price: £10

·       Who’s Welcome: All abilities – from first-timers writers looking to pick up a pen in a safe environment to seasoned slammers looking to push their craft to the next level.

This workshop will be led by Genesis Slam’s own Laurie Eaves. Laurie is a writer and editor who hosts Genesis Slam, Homebrew Poetry, the Vogon Slam and the Dead Darlings spoken word podcast. His work has been published by Bad Betty Press, Broken Sleep Books and Fawn Press amongst many others. His debut full-length collection Biceps is out on Burning Eye Books.
