Informal Poetry Feedback Session with Trowbridge Stanza
...and other items...
You are invited to bring one of your own poems for informal feedback from Trowbridge Stanza on Saturday 6 April from 2pm to 4pm. Tickets are £5. Please book via Drawing Projects UK with this link. More info about Trowbridge Stanza here.
Your poem should be in 12 font and fit one A4 page - 30-36 lines maximum. Please bring ten copies of a poem that you feel needs some more work.
Everyone is welcome to attend this meeting and to give feedback and to listen to others even if you don't bring a poem this time.
For practical purposes, it would help if you would let me (Josephine Corcoran) know by email (josephinecorcoran13 at gmail dot com) if you intend to bring a poem for feedback.
Please note that the gallery at Drawing Projects UK will be open to view on our poetry afternoon - really worth a visit!
A few arts organisers have written to ask me to share their events. These include Wells Poetry Festival and Competition, their website is here, and The McLellan Poetry Competition whose website is here. As always, do drop me a line if you have something poetry or arts-related that you’d like me to share. A reminder that Lyra Festival in Bristol starts soon - here is their website.
There are spaces on my next poetry workshop in Bradford-on-Avon at The Make Space (part of Stone, Paper, Scissors) in the Tithebarn Workshops. Writing Political Poetry will be a chance to read, talk about, write and share political poems. More information here.
Finally, it’s World Poetry Day on Thursday, 21 March. This year, the theme is ‘Standing on the Shoulders of Giants’. More about World Poetry Day here. My own offering for the day is a postcard I made for World Book Night which features a poem, ‘The Sweet Arab, the Generous Arab’ by Palestinian-American poet Naomi Shihab Nye.
